Laga, insent.

I am eating a quesadilla. It's not bad, but a little too spicy. I've been trying to figure out how to go back to eating Primal/Paleo again, without subsisting almost entirely on meat, cheese, and eggs, like I did last time, because As You Know, Bob, I am a terrible cook and do not like vegetables much. And one can't have sandwiches, which is what I as a non-cook subsist upon now, because bread is the biggest no-no on the Primal diet. Quesadillas may be the answer! I can make them with low-carb tortillas, and stuff in as much cheese and meat as I want, and even I can chop up veggies (I think; haven't tried yet).

Oh no. I said "veggies". I hate it when people say veggies! Giving them a cute nickname doesn't make them taste good! Kids, it's all a lie! aiiighh brainwashed... This is what happens when you eat too many vegetables, isn't it? Slowly you start thinking they're okay, then they start to actually taste good, and pretty soon you're trying to get other people to eat them! Teh horror.

Salsa is vegetables and it tastes good, especially in quesadilla.

Admittedly, the things I put in quesadilla aren't always the healthiest - sauteed mushrooms, black olives, green onions, roasted peppers, greek yogurt (in lieu of sour cream).

Cheese is a good place to economize, though. You can usually find pre-shredded bags of cheddar and jack at Safeway on sale, and I got a brick of cheddar at the Grocery Outlet that was bigger than Matilda's leg for about $5.

So the weirdest thing happened.

Last night I came home to discover a message from a girl on OKCupid. She's an Indian girl who lives in Oakland and watches Veronica Mars, likes my use of the word "splendiferous," and hates bad grammar.

We exchanged messages back and forth for about an hour and a half this morning. And now we're having dinner tonight.

Let's see what you got, Hamster Girl.

You can always go with the Brit-ism, veg. It is simultaneously more dignified, less attention-needing (for those of us seeking to consume more without thinking so damn much about it), and easier and faster to type.

P-C, if you find an awesome, geeky, Indian girl online I want you to record your "I TOLD YOU SO" to your mother and post it on YouTube.

Let's see what you got, Hamster Girl.

Don't bring out the hamster ball until the third date.

I second Cashmere's request!

Those things are all healthy!

Yeah, I'm with Zenkitty. I don't understand your statement.

Well, they're not the most nutritious vegetables. Fortunately JZ's Greek genes require her to have spinach at a rate which would make Popeye wrinkle his nose. So I also toss baby spinach leaves in.

Spinach for some; tiny American flags for others!
