It’s so mortifying! I hope you came out of it ok!!

Good thing most labels don’t apply to everyone.

I am a US citizen by birth and by allegiance.

By ‘everyone’ do you mean more stranger’s on an internet forum that read these responses from me and decided I was the worst without actually knowing me? People’s opinions that will not impact me in the slightest and will not generate any kind of ‘awakening’ or other such nonsense?

Or flippant and not really concerned with a stranger’s words on an internet forum.

Kelly & the red wine-

Good one :D.

No, please. Keep talking.

I think this is the very definition of a circular argument.

Awesome! I’ve been an expat for nearly two decades. Please, tell me how little I know of the world.

NO! Now I’ll start missing Italian and French bread. Hell, the German breakfasts full of hard exterior but delicious goodness/soft interior breads.

Fly to Mexico City. Boom. Plenty of friends have done that.

Thank you so much for the rec!!

Well, I do like some wine. I suppose there are certain advantages to being so drunk all of the time. I really cannot behave in that manner as I have a career to look out for and cultivate.

Sounds tasty! What kind of sauce? Or just oil with the sausage and peppers? I’m not a vegetarian but I’ve found meatless patties or tofu to be the easiest for weekly cookings. I mean, I fried up an amazing BLT with avocado and garlic mayonnaise today.

Uh, the onus here is on you. Not me. You accused me of falling into some stereotype and insinuated at an insult.

As expats discreetly roll their eyes and think ‘newbies’ ;).

I just took my sweet potato out of the oven after roasting it with garlic, rosemary, salt & pepper :D. Cut it up and divvied it up in my lunches. If I wasn’t so lazy, I would make a half cup every two days. But laziness wins so I just toss them in the freezer until needed.

Oh ok, so she didn’t body shame him to his face-just wrote about it on the internet. Totes I am in the wrong.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to take a shit on my statement as if I referred to myself as the most perfect human being ever.
