I did exactly what my wife told me not to do. She told me not to go near the kitchen tabe with the acetone when cleaning up some tools. I was extra careful while working on top of the kitchen table. I laid out a big plastic cutting board and some towels. Well.....I accidentally knocked over the dixie cup full of acetone on the table. This is going to be interesting when she gets home!

Nice knowing you @WeberWho

May be time to acetone the entire surface-at least it will be more challenging to discern.  May buy you a couple of hours before the ultimate.

Tell her it's the Japanese symbol for "I'll Love You Forever ".  Good luck brother!

Will you be doing a divorce thread? Lots of folks eager to help.

I'm just glad someone else here uses their table like I do.  

If my kitchen table could talk...

Thanks guys for the perfect guy responses!

So my wife walked around the table and pointed to every area besides the acetone area and asked, "Is this it?" Smirking the whole time. (Oh how she thought she was so funny) I cursed for about 30 seconds after finding out I spilled the Acetone. I was soon over it. She hates when I curse excessively and don't let something go. (She doesn't curse) She gave me a high five and that was pretty much it. 

DMW nailed it. I'll be busy next week refinishing the table top. The hardest part will be to find a matching stain. It has a yellow tint to it. My parents will be out of town for a few days so I'll be able to Jones their heated garage. It will also give me an excuse to buy a new sander.

Looks like Salvador Dali painted a dong on a table with lemon juice.

@Weberwho - Hey, no offense, I thought it was funny, but been there with similar situations involving domestic misfortune.  Guess I just did a rorschach test and I did get a Salvador Dali cookbook for Christmas.

Henapple in the house doing some kind of, I dunno, gang sign or something.

nolaegghead

For whatever reason, I can't upload anymore pictures.  Henapple came over to hang out for dinner crash in our spare room for the night.  Red and Zack also came over and we cooked a nice dinner - strip, blackened fresh redfish (went to Hong Kong market and I had their mongers clean a fresh redfish (and a striped bass).  Soup, salad, etc.  Good dinner, good friends.

nolaegghead

Earlier, when I was at the awesome Hong Kong Market, I threw a bitter melon (picture below) in the cart, thinking it might be useful at some point.  It pretty much represents the most horrific vegetation in the melon category, which doesn't have much competition. 

So Tony (aka Henapple) was smoking a cigar or something out back.  I asked SWMBO if it wouldn't be funny as hell if I stuck this thing (looks alien) under his pillow.  Earlier I had shown Tony this melon and bla bla bla made jokes about it.  Anyway, she didn't think it would be funny at all.  Even my counter suggestion of "how about I put it ON his pillow?".  Not funny.  Drat.

So later, in a whim, I covertly put it under the pillow in our spare room where he was going to sleep. 

We ended up watching Ted, a movie about a perverted stuffed bear.  Tony laughed loudly, he was like a child that got hyper before tuckering out.  He decided he was done at some point, goin bed.  At this time I had forgotten about the heinous melon. 

Probably took him 10 minutes before he noticed it.  I thought he may have woke up the neighbors.  He came out, sleep interrupted, and laughed/yelled at me. (I was/am in the living room).  Mission accomplished. Many lolz.

My bad @nolaegghead That was my fat fingers. I had no intention of hitting the off topic button. I thought it was funny. I'd have no problem putting an original Salvador Dali wangski kitchen table in my house. Unfortunately this table won't sell as much as Jesus toast on Ebay so I'll have to refinish it.

Waiting for the flat to fully loosen up.

Prepping the mini wellingtons for tomorrow's dinner. Pan sear before wrapping. Pics loaded in reverse
just a little color.  not a hard sear.

this is the finish on my great grandmother's cast iron pan.  Stole this from my mother a few years back  

simply wiped it clean after searing. Damn near mirror finish.  the original nonstick finish

am also experimenting with Dickens' own recipe for punch. This is supposedly the punch he had in mind when he mentions bob cratchit adding "gin and lemons" to a pot on the stove (with other adjuncts).  

If we don't like it, I think it will make a fine substitute for lighter fluid. 

Served warm/hot. Ten minutes to go on the simmer. If you don't hear from me again, assume I went blind. 

lousubcap

@JustineCaseyFeldown -  That cast iron finish is a thing of beauty.  Way to permanently borrow it.  
And I am sure you will survive the punch along with preparing and producing a true banquet.  (No prime rib?? )  Merry Christmas.
