WATERVILLE — A culinary argument between a brother and sister about whether to use butter or margarine turned violent, resulting in an attack with a knife-edged barbecue spatula, police say.
A 21-year-old man called East Wenatchee police on June 6 to say his 17-year-old sister had just attacked him and tried to cut his neck with the serrated edge of the spatula, wrote Officer Carrie Knouf in a police report filed in Douglas County Superior Court.
The sister told Knouf she was making macaroni and cheese when her brother asked if she was using butter.
“They began to argue over the difference of real butter to margarine,” wrote Knouf in the report.
The verbal argument escalated into a shoving match, and then the sister is accused of trying to cut her brother, Knouf wrote.
The girl was charged with fourth-degree assault June 10. She did not show up for a Wednesday hearing, so Douglas County Superior Court Judge John Hotchkiss issued a warrant for her arrest.
<Go get the butter
hahaha I haven’t thought of that movie in years. Personally, I haven’t found it as interesting in reruns as I did when I saw it in the theater.
Re the argument over food, I can see how that happens. I’m the cook. I hate when someone who is not cooking, who puts in no effort then wants to complain about the food. They have a choice - get their own food or eat what I make. I can dump the whole thing in the trash, so stfu.
bacon , yes. butter, no.
Some years ago while I was cooking up some burgers the friend, of a friend of an aquaintance kept messing with me like that. I asked if he had noticed that the spatula in my hand was the exact same size as the space between his eyes. Needless to say, he very quickly shut up and left. Using a knife on someone is going too far, but I still thik whacking interlopers upside the head is fair game.
...And don't forget the fingernail clippers.
Julia Child approves. Margarine is a carcinogen and a slow heart poison. Never, never eat margarine.
Sigh... Siblings. Can’t live with ‘em; can’t slit their throats with a spatula.
You can't?
Excuse me, please. I have some...cleaning up...to do.
Oh Slings, Slings! I’ll be right there to help if it’s too late... uh... Be right there!
