Might try that first. Uhg, I'd love to support local business, but CHEAPASS!
Wash: Captain, didn't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy? Mal: Well sometimes I just can't help myself.

AAARrrrggghh!
Why is the universe trying to kill me with gross? There was a bug in my spinach greens tonight. In my "washed and ready" spinach, that I considered rewashing but didn't because I am lazy. The SO asked, "What, like a fruitfly or something?" and I was all, "No, a fucking beetle! Are you even kidding me with this?"
I mean, seriously, WTF? So much for me trying to health up my noodles.

I use Turbo Tax online, if that counts as "somebody doing the taxes", and that's between $50-70. You can deduct it from your refund. I'm curious how that's going to work because the refund is going to be seized by the IRS for a bill.

Washed and ready spinach should not betray you like that, Liese.
The French Onion Soup I had for dinner was good but, I am afraid, insufficient. Hm.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Vegetables are inherently shifty. At least the usual meat premise is pre-killed.

Protein, Liese. Just protein.

Do you have cheese in the house? I suggest cheese.

The soup was pretty cheesy, I don't know if more cheese is a good idea.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I... actually find it kind of reassuring when the spinach isn't nuked or poisoned beyond all possibility of sustaining life. But then I wash pre-washed veg anyway because my trust threshold is apparently low. And I'm a damned food-hippie.

It was a beetle! Green! Upside down in the bottom of my bowl! With its little beetle legs upside down, waving! Okay, not waving, because it was dead. But still. Not reassuring!
