It's salty, so fuck, that's gross. And then caramel is just gooey sugar, and that's gross too. DISGUSTING.
Nope (and I say this as a non-slat person)--the sweet and salt balanced each other in just the right way.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

All I required of Pacific Rim is that it have giant robots fighting giant monsters. The fact that it also featured Rob Kazinsky looking like this was just a bonus.

Because books.
Maria, make sure you leave the house sometimes. If you can take it, go to a Starbucks or a Panera and work for a while. The isolation is the one thing I hate about working from home again.

In me-news, it is entirely time for wine, but I have to decide between white (because it's summer) and red (because I still have some truffles that go with a specific red wine - bought 'em back in June so probably they should be eaten up soon).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would have thought it goes without saying that salted caramel is fucking delicious, but I guess I thought wrong.

I like salted chocolate more than caramel. I'm just kinda meh on caramel, which is surprising because caramelization makes vegetables and roasts and what-have-you delicious, so you would think straight up caramel would be even more delicious, but not to me.
I don't really know what snickerdoodles are, though.

Snickerdoodles are awesome. Cinnamon sugar, and nicely chewy if they're made right.
I don't love caramel, either, but I do like salted chocolate. Even as a kid, I loved trail mix when the pretzel stick salt would rub off on the M&Ms.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Needless to say, the isolation is why I work at home.
I don't know if my boss knows what a critical path is, or how to efficient crash a project. On one hand, that should make me happy. On the other hand--oh, more work for me to make more work for me.

Caramel and chocolate are my OTP. Like, Rolos? HEAVEN.
Salted caramel is pretty damn good, too. TJs has a chocolate bar that's dark chocolate and salted caramel (and maybe toasted coconut), and it's one of the only acceptable forms of dark chocolate I'll eat.
