The biggest problems facing the world.

I was recently at the mall and I looked in the cooking sections of Macy's and in William's Sonoma for an escargot dish. I didn't come across one, but I came to realize that perhaps the biggest problem known to man is how to open a bottle of wine. It has to be, just look at all of the contraptions people have come up with to remove a piece of cork (or plastic as is now becoming common) from a bottle. The obvious solution is to buy boxed wine.

A second problem is catching mice. Take a look at all of the traps and contraptions out there and you'll realize it is a huge issue. I usually use the old fashioned trap baited with peanut butter and catch three over a two day period. Not so this time. I have a mouse, or mice who seem not to want peanut butter and would prefer to gnaw at the top of my olive oil container. I hate to use poison because I don't know where they'll wind up and I'm not about to bring in a cat.
