shit. I was hoping your story began and ended with weed.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
is anyone doing low sodium diet?
next question: how the fuck do you manage it? sodium is in everything.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I imagine you have to make a lot of stuff from scratch at home, because processed food (soups, etc) have a ton of sodium in them so they can last longer on the shelf.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
le nubian, what Teppy said, and especially avoid anything that says it is "low fat", like low fat cheeses, they all have much more sodium than the high fat varieties.

I need to cut sodium and it is fucking impossible.

Yeah, is tough to cut sodium, especially while keeping flavor. If you're cooking at home, you might want to explore herbs--rosemary and thyme add a lot of flavor without sodium. Also pepper (red or black), citrus (lemon and lime, juice or zest) and cooking with wine add flavor. There are a number of no-salt spice combos by Mrs. Dash [link] I don't cook with them, but I've heard that others like them. There are also low sodium salts, usually substituting potassium, but I don't know how they'll fit your nutritional needs. [link] My parents used those briefly, but they always seemed to have a bit of an aftertaste to me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
If you're cooking at home
The thing is, if you are cooking at home, you are taking out a huge hit of sodium just with that one thing. It's not salt for flavor, it's sodium as a preservative and as a hidden ingredient. Depending on how much you are restricting, you can salt at home. It's the abuse of sodium that is often an issue, not just salt. Salt actually keeps us alive in smaller quantities.

yeah, I need to cook at home more. I'm so busy that this is hard to do.

le n, Penzeys is pricey but it has some delicious no salt seasonings. I love the one called Mural of Flavor. It's my go-to seasoning.
