Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
They had paczis here at the office cafeteria, but I ddn't get one (they didn't really look all that good). Traditional flavors are rosehip and prune, but some of the bigger Polish bakeries have a much wider variety available. They're lighter than the usual jelly-filled doughnut.
I'm trying to call some of the Polish bakeries north of my apartment to see if they carry paczkis throughout the year, and nobody's answering their phones. Must be busy today.
I can't imagine eating non-sweetened oatmeal. I grew up eating it with brown sugar and cinnamon.
The salt doesn't make it salty or any less sweet. It just makes it... better and taste more like itself. Like adding a pinch of salt to chocolate when cooking it, or when baking. I can totally tell when Tom forgets to add salt to our oatmeal (we eat it sweet). It tastes hella bland. When he remembers, it just tastes right. Not salty or savory.
I don't think there are polish people in Kentucky. Just a guess.
Salt has two functions. I like it in its first, which is to release flavour. In its second, as a flavour in its own right, it's gross.
Someone a cube over is saying that blonde jokes are only about those women who are not naturally blonde, just those that are pretending to be blonde. I looked over my shoulder, hoping for eye contact, but no dice.
I had a job once where we were not allowed to read at our desks during breaks and lunch. They told us they were afraid that higher-ups might see us and think we were slacking.
There's a bit about GA on Oprah today.

Even cookies are made with salt in them.
In my world: grits=salty and oatmeal=sweet.
but the pinch of salt in the oatmeal does not diminish the sweetness.
Just tell them you ate breakfast at home, and the oatmeal is a snack. That should do it, no?
Afraid not. Besides, I'd have to bring it myself anyway, since the cafeteria is in this building, and I'm going to be working in the other one. The different buildings thing compounded with the no eating at desks rule is what's making this extra annoying.

Well, Plei was suggesting only salt and butter, which says to me it wouldn't be sweet at all. Which just seems odd.
