Heh.
When I was in Target, there was a young woman in the pets aisle looking completely and utterly lost. When she saw I was getting catfood, she pounced.
"You have a cat?"
"Yeeeesss, two?"
"There are too many choices! I just got this cat and I don't know if she likes chicken or whitefish or salmon and that one just looks gross and they said science something and it isn't here and I can't imagine she's like it and I JUST DON'T KNOW."
"Um, ok. Is it a kitten still?"
"Yeah, still got growing to do."
"Um, ok, I buy this stuff. It's a little more expensive, but I've been feeding my cat this stuff for 10 years and she likes it. Get the kitten kind until she's a year or two or ask the vet.OK?"
She hugged me.
It was rather hilarious. She was so worried about what to feed that cat.

Now tagless for your comfort.
sara, I had the exact same thing happen to me in the baby formula aisle once. Except for the part about chicken, whitefish or salmon.

That reminds me of the overheard from the pharmacy today.
"What has more omega-3? Salmon oil or fish oil?"
"You know that salmon is fish, right?"
"Yeah."
t meaningful silence
"So which has more omega-3 then?"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm in search of really simple sauces, for when I'm lazy. Like this one I found suggested for tossing pasta (and which'd work well for when I've bought Buitoni or some other fresh pasta):
WHITE WINE SAUCE
1/3 cup dry white wine (I used a Pinot Grigio)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
Or this to drizzle over grilled pork chops:
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Any simple suggestions?

The bottom one is hard to go wrong with.
Another good one? (no measurements, sorry) combine one chipotle, lime juice, pepper, salt, sugar, and cilantro. Good with shrimp

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
For seafood, white wine + butter + parsley, maybe either garlic or garlic powder.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
For pasta, olive oil, salt, and garlic. Add parmesan, romano or whatever cheese you love. Cheese not required if you have another dish for protein source. Or for healthy one dish meals, add chicken, low fat meat, or fish of your choice along with veggies of your choice. Chicken breast and mushrooms are compatible - especially with a little lemon juice and wine. I like anchovies (which is not actually a healthy choice),but I'm taking a wild guess that anchovies are on ita's "never" list.
