One of the local Mexican places had a cashier whose English was not the best. Fortunately burrito dell pollo con no pico is easy, if not necessarily grammatically correct. She looked so happy to have someone she could understand, and was very disappointed when I answered her return Spanish with "No la usted." It's amazing how much I remember from high school and what I've picked up around here. And giving the girls dirty looks when they smile at me and sweetly say "puta" is very gratifying.
I would be there right now.

What did you want to say with "No la usted"?
Also if you want to say "con no" the word for "without" is "sin" (pronounced seen)

But as I'd happily consider a salt lick snack food if not for blood pressure issues, they're right up my alley.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

HAIRY? Aren't they fish? How are fish hairy? The talk of saltiness was making me consider trying them, but ew. Hairy cancels out salty.

One of my goddamned girlcats just managed to fuckup the work I've been doing. I don't even know how bad but my db person can fix in the morning. But GODDAMNIT. Stupid heatseekers.

Intriguing! Yeah, I've seen a lot of fancy mixologists doing stuff with tea because it's basically another infusion and they do those all the time anyway.
I get the greasy/cheesy Taco Bell love, though I'm kind of avoiding Fast Food Fake Meat since the pink slime made me Think About My Choices.
I know this sounds weird, but taking my cue from the food trucks I've been satisfying that cheap food craving with tacos I make with Trader Joe's turkey meatballs. (With Srichacha sauce, melted cheese on the tortilla and baby spinach.) It's really good, and turkey meatballs are savory and delish but easy on my getting-older-objecting-to-red-meat stomach.

I kinda think I would like it? I don't know, I have Gin Issues. As in, there's something about gin that makes me scrunch my nose up and be not sure if I like it. Which is ridiculous, because I love the juniper soda that Dry Soda makes.
