For example:

  • When you open a fresh jar of peanut butter do you only work through one side until it is completely empty then start on the other side?

  • Or when you get those shallow tubs of hummus does it have to make it back home undisturbed? Then one of the baggers at the grocery store shoves it sideways into the bag completely ruining the symmetry.

Leftover pizza needs to be heated up in a pan in medium heat. Its the only way for the pizza to not become soggy, to the crust have some crunch on it and to restore the cheese melt.

I will argue with anyone in my house that goes against this!

Oven at 425, about 6-7 minutes. It's a little drier but I grew up on concession stand pizza...

That said, I'm definitely trying the pan.

Sandwiches should have their contents rearranged so they each bite has exactly the same amount of filling. If that cannot be done, the bites with the least filling should be eaten first and those with the most should be saved for last.

I bristle on the inside when my kids want a slice of bread for breakfast. Toast is for breakfast, and bread is for other meals. I don't even actually care about this, but my dad did when I was a little kid and I clearly internalized that lesson.

There is one correct way to eat pop tarts or other toaster pastries. Nibble off the sides, then eat the non-iced side, then fold the iced side in half so you get a double filling, double iced pastry. Finally you can expericence nirvana, the effort is worth it.

Sides should ideally be eaten before the main - unless it annoys whoever I am eating with

If I'm having pasta, the bowl always have a flat plate beneath, even if I don't plan to eat another course after

Salads and sandwiches should be served room temperature, never right out of the fridge cold
