Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I'm not sure I'd count on that story being sweet, if Lee followed the source at all. Moving, certainly.

Cinnamon in chile-d black beans! Is awesome!

2 cans black beans poured over sauteed onions and garlic. Add green chile, salt, pepper. Let bubble and stir. Add cooked chicken if so inclined. Quickly cover with a layer of cinnamon. Stir. Cook s'more. Mash stuff. SO GOOD.

I got taught the delight of cinnamon in beans by a NO native. It really makes the flavor richer.

(I'm probably offending people six ways from sunday with my non-slash interested thing and associated assumptions. It's just...it doesn't do anything for me. Go yay, no problem with it, it just isn't a personal oomph.)

I was just going to champion chocolate covered pretzels, but you already got there. I like chocolate + nuts of some kind. Preferably cashews and sometimes almonds.

Brokeback Mountain? Not going to be sweet. Probably will be salty.

I don't mind foods crossing the sweet/salt divide. I love moles which is all about the mash of sweet and salt and spicey.

Oh. I guess if I had to have a third category it would be spicey.

Gonna make me cry? That'll do.

I don't think I've ever had a good mole (I bought a jar of something once, but... yuck). I should try to rectify that at some point.

Spicy and Salty are on the same side of the Divide in my world. But, again, there can be exceptions.

Prolly. Possibly. How easy do you cry?

That trailer broke me. The movie should be something else.

The whole wheat bread I just had a sandwich on was distinctly sweet. Odd.

How easy do you cry?

Um... do want to admit this?

Um, some commercials do it. I've been crying on the way home the past 2 days to NPR. It pisses me off. My tears do shit, so why bother? I'd rather be doing something or writing a check. They come anyway. And yes, over fiction too, though that I give myself more leeway.

Surefire tearstorm is a story of hedgehogs called Dearest Prickles. Or Uncle Whiskers. I'm cheap. Thank god those only live at my parents' house.
