A couple of weeks ago I wrote about tangled cords on our electronic devices. Having solved that mystery, I finished the post by saying I was about to search Google for the mystery of missing socks.
I was kidding.
However, I'm easily distracted and with a little encouragement I've done it. And, there is no answer.
But. I saw a great work-around.
The sacrificial sock.
Instead of tossing a simple pair of (2) socks into the wash or dryer, toss three. Not only is it a great use of those orphan socks, it helps protect the integrity of the pair. It's a truly inspired idea.
Which got me thinking of sacrificial other stuff. Like my friend, Mr. Amazing BBQ dude. When I asked him how how he does it perfectly every time he said "simple. Sacrificial steak. I always have an extra one (or it could be yours) that I cut into while it's cooking.".
Which explains a lot.
Then there's the sacrificial blog post. Like this one!
Have a great day!
