He was joking about his ability to speak English, I'm pretty sure, not the other way around.

Oh! Like "I charge extra because I speak English" and not "I charge extra to people who don't speak English"?? Still wrong, but it makes slightly more (racist) sense.

I wish the people who put together recipes for packaged meals would learn that there are flavors other than peppers. After eating an otherwise acceptable manicotti dish, parts of my mouth are numb from the level of peppers in the sauce. Anymore, it's like meals are "something kind of bland + pepper = 'robust and flavorful!'" I know it's because peppers are dirt cheap, but I'm sick of it. Sometimes literally. I've had near-asthmatic reactions to food even after I've picked out the huge chunks of pepper.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My motivation is gone. I don't really want it back, but apparently I need to be an adult with a job. Meh.

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

Connie, my BFF and I were having that exact conversation last night. "Spicy" is not just another word for "hot"! There are other spices besides peppers! Neither of us can handle hot peppers.

That's one reason I like Indian food. It can get wicked hot, but it also can use tons of other spices like cardamom and turmeric.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

It's OK shrift. Don't go digging in the trash. I just hate racist dickbags who go after people just trying to make an honest living.

Tep, you and me both. No motivation to even exit the house to get fried dough.

I love hot peppers. That does not mean that's the only spice I like to flavor food. Variety is good.

There's a place that is putting peppers in egg salad sandwiches! Egg salad is supposed to be light and subtle! I think people are burning out their taste buds.

Which is, I guess, the best reason to cook for myself. I hate cooking. It takes time and dirties dishes and I rarely want the thing I cooked after I've had to take more than 10 minutes to prepare it.

Oh amych, that sucks!! I hope there are awesome "future endeavors" in your sights. :(

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

amych, I hope you are able to fully enjoy your week off. Lots of ~ma for the future hunt.

Oh for fuck's sake, amych. I'm sorry. No one here should ever have to use that term. Job~ma to you.
