I love salty. I do not love bitter, but most vegetables don't taste bitter to me, except for things like bitter greens, which I do not like one bit. Grapefruit is also blech. Blech, blech, blech. And, of course, blech to cilantro, which tastes like soap.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Yeah, totally. Mmm, salt & vinegar. Mmm, grapefruit! That reminds me, I have grapefruit juice in the fridge right now! Oh, yeah, and mmm to the whitefont.

Bitter depends a lot on the flavor. Other than that I really like most strong tastes - spicy, sour, etc. But cilantro is still the devil's taste.
ETA: We have free grapefruit juice in my office. Yay! Actually we have a fancy schmancy coffee/espresso/latte machine and a separate one with oj, grapefruit, and lemonade. It's kind of crazy - this is our "breakroom": [link]
How crazy is that? There's a reason this company is a leader in workplace strategies, I guess. It's like a little cafe. And you can see Millenium Park and Soldier Field from the windows.

I'm home again! Yyyyyayyy.
But! No jail time, so I'm definitely one up on Erin.

Erin, Erin. My sister has a habit of racking up parking tix and other non-serious violations that just sit and sit, and I always think of you. Stop that! I'm so sorry you had to go through this, great story or not.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
brenda, can I come work for your company?
I can't drink grapefruit juice. It makes my jaws hurt. I like eating grapefruit, but not too much, and only with sugar.

That makes me want a Ruby Red. They require no sugar.

Salt and vinegar
Sometimes I think I would kill for a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips. Tonight is one of those nights.

For all that's holy, stop saying salt and vinegar! I don't have any and would have to go way out of my way to get any (lime, yes; chili lime, yes; pork cracklings, either with or without salsa, yes; avocado-flavored lentil chips, yes; but salt and vinegar, nowhere nearby), and you're making me CRAVE them!
