The treachery of lids

September 11, 2019 By Ellen

If I’ve learned one thing it’s this: Don’t trust a lid. It will only let you down. Never put your dignity in the hands of a little lid. Or a big one. Don’t let a disc of plastic be all that stands between you and discovering how much soup looks like vomit when it covers […]
