Honey, Oh the Mess!

So last week I went to put my IKEA purchases in the trunk and found the gallon or more bucket of honey my mom had given me had opened and was all over my trunk. I closed the trunk and headed home trying to think how I would clean such a mess. When I went up to WY the week before I was talking with my mom about food storage and how we are working on it. My mom has always been really good about having food storage and with there now only being three of them at home said she would be glad to share. She gave me a bucket of honey, a large bag of oats, a bucket of wheat, some apple slices and potato pearls. Since then I had added a large bag of rice. But no that was not all I had in my trunk. Since Nathan started T-ball I have kept a blanket, chair, and his bat bag in the trunk so we will always have them for his games. I had an emergency car kit and a few other miscellaneous items. Seriously a mess. Well the pictures don't even do it justice. I ended up using a spoon and trying to get it all into a bowl. This was the creamy thick honey otherwise I think the mess would have been even worse. I used a warm rag to clean everything. I am hoping honey doesn't clog drains the way grease does since a lot of honey ended up down my drain. I did manage to save everything except the honey. It took a couple hours. When Ryan came home I just told him not to ask. Nathan kindly announced I was cleaning the honey out of my trunk to any neighbor within ear shot. Lesson learned. Don't carry around a bucket of honey in your trunk for over a week!
