Where is my cucumber????

I losing my mind!!!
I bought some produce on Friday nite. The cucumber was wrapped in plastic.
On Sunday nite I chopped some up for use in my Pimm's cup On Monday it was on kitchen counter and I chopped some up for my lunch salad and that is the last I saw of it!!!
I remember thinking I have to rewrap and put in refrigerator but I searched 3 times and its not there!!!
Its not on the counter, I've checked cupboards, freezer etc....
With the warm weather we are experiencing I guess I'll probably smell it in a couple of days.

So anyone else ever do something so foolish????

When i saw the title of your thread all sorts of devious thoughts entered my mind and all along your post was an innocent one.

sorry you lost your cucumber, i hope you find it soon, i have lost things like that a few times, it is very frustrating. Once i lost the milk only to discover it in the cupboard a few hours later

We lost the pancake syrup after breakfast Sunday!
We made blueberry pancakes and we all ate. We had some leftover pancakes so I saved them to warm up the next morning. Well Monday morning I heated them up and went to get the syrup from the frige and it wasn't there. I asked my fiance if he had seen it, he said it should be in the frige and that I was just too blind to see it. He got up and we searched the entire kitchen and couldn't find it anywhere It is driving us both nuts because we had pretty much given up on it but last night after dinner he was in the kitchen rummaging through the cabinets muttering something about missing syrup

I have a cute one I'll share with you. My dear old mom (bless her she left us 2 yrs ago at age 82 and I think of her daily), anyway, she would make a large pot of tea in the morning and throughout the day she would get a cup of tea and re-heat it in the microwave. One day when the microwave beeped that it was finished, she opened the door and NO TEA CUP. She stood there asking nobody in particular where her tea was! She opened the refrigerator and there was her tea. She had put the tea in the fridge and turned on the microwave to reheat it. We laughed about this for days.

*Sighs* I brought in a 8 oz cup of fresh mushrooms to the bakery about two weeks ago.........I bought 'em, sacked 'em up .....haven't seen 'em since! I can't find them and neither could hub!!!

Its A Conspiracy!!

Perhaps you threw your cucumber away by accident?

Or is there anyone else in the house that could have eaten it/taken it?

Have you checked the drawer where you keep the cling film or whatever to re-wrap it?

Oh god I have done some silly things before, sames as you, like put the milk in the cupboard only to find it stinking later on in the day!

I found some tortillas under the produce drawer this week. We haven't had tortillas in a looong time. Somehow they slipped down, and were trapped between the produce and meat drawer. Maybe your cuke is hiding under or between the drawers of the fridge?

I hate losing stuff that I just had around. But its been going on long enough, I can't hardly blame it on old age!

That reminds me of the Great Cheese Ball Escape. One time when I lived alone in a small apartment (with no pets at the time), I bought a large can of Planters Cheese Balls. I opened it one night while at the computer, ate just a few of them, and remember specifically replacing the lid and placing them on the top part of the roll-top desk. The next afternoon after work, when I got home I was craving them... but they were gone. GONE!

I tore the apartment apart looking for them; looked in the trash several times. I called my best friend who was the only other person with a key (not even the landlord had one) but she thought I was crazy and "of course I've not been in your apartment".

A few years later I moved away and of course cleaned out my apartment top to bottom. No cheese balls... no remnants, nothing. You'd think I'd eventually find the can at least.

I think my dad, who loved anything cheese related in life, must've taken them to snack on in heaven. If not, there's no explanation for what could have possibly happened to my cheese balls.

This reminds me of something my mother did once.

In Ireland we still have a milkman who delivers fresh milk to the doorstep early each morning (does that still exist anywhere else? I just love it - anyway...) Once when we were kids, my mother had been ironing and was then tidying up and put the iron (yes, the iron) outside the front door for the milkman to collect instead of the empty milk bottle We got A LOT of mileage out of that one

Oh yeah! I have had things disappear in my home and I have given up on figuring how they have disappeared. I remember one experience where I had a FAVORITE dress that I LOVED to wear.. One day, I looked for it in my closet and it DISAPPEARED.. I looked ALL OVER for that dress and no luck. I KNOW I didn't lose it doing laundry because I remember hanging it up in my closet.. When I moved to this apt last year, I thought maybe I'd find the dress but no luck.

I have also put things away in the wrong places many times and have only myself to blame..

Examples- Cereal boxes in ref or freezer, candy in silverware drawer, cooking pan in ref to cook, my glasses in the ref, turning water on in the sink and forgetting to turn it off (over 90 % of my apt was flooded as a result of this!)

Should I go on with more stories? I THINK NOT!

I buy plastic wrap in the ginormous box at Costco. Obviously only every couple of years. The box was getting down, and because you never know with those things when it's actually going to run out, I bought a new one a few months ago. Large items being held in reserve stay in the garage until they are needed. I looked at that box of plastic wrap for weeks, then when I wanted to bring it in, it was GONE. Some rearranging of stuff had happened, but Rob knows to leave that sort of thing in a particular area, and when I asked him about it, he was just as mystified as I. Hasn't turned up

As for your cuke, it probably won't smell much, unless it stays missing a long time, but it'll make a lovely mess for you to clean up.

OK freaky coincidence, but we lost a jar of pickles this evening!! We'd bought a jar especially to eat with our cheese fondue but we couldn't find it - not in the cupboard, not in the fridge It has to be here somewhere....

Someone told me once that when you can't find something and then you turn around and it's right there where you left it, that it's your guardian angel playing tricks on you.... I like that.

Well I have to tell this one, when I first got miniman (the cat) I could not find him for about 10 minutes and I looked everywhere, I figured he was just hiding possibly sleeping somewhere and I opened the fridge and there he stood on the bottom shelf, he has done it 2 times now, so when I don't see him now that's the first place I look, plus Dunkin will go into the pantry and I will walk by and shut it, and low and behold he will still be standing there an hour later does not make a peep,

Well I'm checking the garbage can when I get home. Or maybe I'll be able to smell it tonite!!

I have no idea, but I was afraid to open the thread

That sounds kind of kinky.

I haven't lost any food lately, but I have lost my dust pan! I just know Jerry took it!!
