I like the veggie links at Trader Joe’s. I put honey on them. I’ll need to try the Morningstar patties!

I mean what is gazpacho really if not salsa in a shot glass?

I feel like the cherry tomatoes make that a salad, no?

Did... did we go to college together? Although I don’t remember if I still did this in college. But I called it crouton soup too.

In hindsight, it probably would have been better with ranch.

I look closely too and people point it out! But I need to know, for example, which side of the chip has the most seasoning so I can put that side on my tongue. Obviously.

Putting maple syrup on sausage is totally normal so why not bacon?

Girls in my school would eat just butter and sugar on bread and I never found it weird (I didn’t like it though). And I love cinnamon toast and the only difference between that and cinnamon sugar on bread is a toaster.

Every time i went to a restaurant with a salad bar (which in the 80s/early 90s, was most of them) I’d make myself a bowl of croutons with 1000 Island poured on top and eat it with a spoon. This went on until, like, middle school. I don’t know why my parents let me do it.

I have 10 bath towels (well, 4 are bath sheets), of which 4 are ‘nice’, 4 are my old set of nice ones that are now mostly for when the other ones are dirty or for use at the swimming pool, and 2 that I bought at Target for like $5 when my campsite got deluged and I needed more towels but they’re yellow and I like them…

It can help for people with gender-neutral names when someone with the same name is on the no fly list (speaking from experience).

That is very weird. All the fine/performing arts faculty I know get evaluated for tenure based on their actual art - publication of a novel, an art show, etc. I guess you know that already. Does music history interest you? You could write something about the development of the instrument you play, or about a famous…

So jealous! I didn’t get a shiny.

It makes me leave my house every day which is a huge bonus for this introvert.

I live right near Arlington Cemetery and I kind of feel like it’s more like one of the national monuments than a regular cemetery. So long as the stops aren’t near the graves of ordinary soldiers I think it’s fine.

He’s doing what he’s genetically programmed to do! What a good doggy.

Now if only we could get rid of them in Northern VA!

I hate to tell you this, but...

Yeah. Our office kitchen is usually a total fucking mess that is shared by 150+ people and gets cleaned once every 24 hours by the night cleaning crew. People wipe spills off the counters with the same sponge that is used by many of those 150+ people to wash their dishes.

I wouldn’t do that, but I’m not sure it’s unsanitary to leave food in a napkin on the counter outside the stall. I doubt there are any more germs on that counter than on, say, a kitchen counter.
