Yesterday, I stopped at the grocery store on my way home from work, which I am wont to do from time to time. Among other things, I picked up some cheesecloth (I have chicken stock simmering as we speak).
Oddly, before ringing it up, the checker just picked up the cheesecloth and stared it for about 30 seconds. She was fascinated by it. She even said, "That's really neat!" I could see being a little curious about something you've never seen before, but that was just way more enthusiastic about the wondrous filtering properties of cheesecloth than I was prepared for.
It was just kind of odd.
