Pizza boxes, popsickle sticks, styrofoam plates and cupcake shells would not be discarded until Deirdre had eaten all the stubbornly clinging nutriscraps. She had an endearing habit of running her finger around the bottom of the pudding pot. StubblyJack tried to ingestall with her, but he just couldn't match Deierdre's ability to YUMBONUS all the dregs of 21st century take-out food.
