Not being a native english speaker has its advantages

Friend of the Pickle Marie, who is Danish and speaks English almost perfectly does not, in fact, speak English perfectly. The term "garbage disposal," for example, was not a term with which she was familiar. Apparently they don't have garbage disposals in Denmark. Go figure.

The other day, Marie was heard to coin the term "chopping sink." It's really much better than garbage disposal. Garbage does not belong in the sink. I'm going with chopping sink. I hope you will too.

Merry Christmas.
