2nd post in one day!
This is typical me:
We have this annoying moth problem, you know those ones that live in your flour and freak you the hell out and ruin your cookies because you don't know they are there until you open it and have a nervous breakdown.
We threw out EVERYTHING in our baking cupboard. I currently have no flour, sugar, cornstarch, cornmeal, baking powder, etc. Now we're waiting the 8 weeks or whatever it takes for the little bastards to die off.
The worst part about them is not that they keep ruining my bread making. It's something far more sinister. They keep landing in my wine! Everytime I pour a glass of wine, 5 minutes later there is a dead moth in it. Like, EW! I think I'm permanently traumatized and will spend the rest of my life inspecting my wine after each sip.
But, it gave me a clever idea!
This morning, I opened a bottle of wine and put a small bowl of it in the cupboard where they were. I will trap those little alcoholics! Except, the bowl I put it in was one of those Gladware throw away ones, that apparently should have been thrown away. It had a crack in it, so most of the wine leaked out.
I noticed this a short time later, and went to clean it up. Of course, in the process, I got it all over me, not to mention it being all over the cupboard and now counter.
It's 9am and I already smell like a wino.

LOL - oh man - too funny!
Hi, visting from Allie's blog! Sorry about the wino situation! Sounds like something that would happen here. My mom had a moth problem for a while, and the guest room, where we stay when I visit smelled like moth balls. Ick! Finally an exterminator came and told her it wasn't clothing moths, but moths eating a harvest wreath she was storing in the guest room closet. D'oh! Everytime we visit I get to enoy the lingering moth ball smell, though.
