Beware of the Stinky Tofu

"There should be a kitchen policy against food that smells so bad!," announced my friend Cat, indignant, as she walked out of our floor kitchen.

And then, I inhaled it: the unmistakable smell of my grandma's hope chest. A chest where she kept her traditional silk Chinese dresses, adorned with beautiful embroidery. Along with MOTH BALLS, to keep them from being eaten by cockroaches and such.

So being in a multi-diverse workplace is great, as you get to meet and talk to people of other cultures. However, for those averse to the practice of consuming fish head, chicken feet, stinky tofu, cow brains and such, this means that the kitchen of such multi-diverse workplace becomes the source of horrific smells and even more horrific sights.

Today's perpetrator probably had some fish that has been buried in the ground for a good couple of months and then was mixed with stinky tofu. I say, anything that smells like something that KILLS COCKROACHES should not be allowed in the microwave.
