Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Uh huh, of course you do.

Crap, you know me too well. Yeah, it's the number 1 gift on my Christmas List...

Liese, re: saladitos. Yep, exact same thing as the salty seeds. Not the variously flavored crack seed varieties, but plain old salty seed? Same thing. And they come in chili flavor, too! Also, way more available here than crack seed.

Our wings are not tired

Right now I just want to get through one more week of work.

As always at this time of year I'm dealing with accounting offices and the like that never pay anything on time. Thankfully I've had enough big contracts pay on time that I'm not totally without cash, but it's pushing most of my Christmas shopping to the last minute. What is it with companies that just can't cut a check between Thanksgiving and New Years?

I'm just trying to get through the next week. Kids are getting crazy and everyone is getting short tempered.

I don't know why some places don't pay. The one good thing about my job is the direct deposit.

They are probably too busy having parties.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I like sour the way some of you like salt. I can in fact handle salt best with sour--we have some "Chinese sweeties" (we're so lyrical with our naming in Jamaica) that are shrunken soured plums with some salt on. Now that's good licking.

Those sound pretty good.

That's pretty much the same thing, ita. Shruken soured plums with possibly more salt on. Typical for tropical regions?

I have some dried salted lemon peel that you might like.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Top five priciest restaurants in the USA.

I'm relieved Masa was #1, because that shit is ridiculous.

Seriously -- $400 for a 30-course Omakase dinner? Yeah, I *love* me some sushi, but that's INSANE.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

$400 for a 30-course Omakase dinner

I can see myself paying it if I had the money. I don't, so it's a moot point, but I can see it.
