The curmudgeon is desperately trying to get used to his new granite kitchen countertops, but it seems a hopeless quest to discover if they are clean. The busy pattern, of course, cleverly hides all manner of spills and the usual detritus of the cooking bit.
Whose idea was this? My Formica counters literally broadcast where they were dirty. Granite HIDES the dirt - in the very place you want to be assured things are clean! It's like all the new densely patterned persian rugs that the curmudgeon's sainted wife couldn't resist at Einstein Moomjy's going out of business sale - when one of the cats horks up a hairball, you don't know it until you step on it.
The reverse is true for the current popularity of stainless steel appliances - they broadcast every chance encounter with the human body: fingerprints, swipes, you name it. Happily, we didn't fall prey to this insidious plot and are awaiting the resurgence of sanity and properly (read non-70s) colored appliances.
I, personally, blame HGTV.
