I eat chicken so rarely just because it’s usually so bland and flavorless.  But man, whatever they do just works.  Plus the yuca fries and flan.

I still haven’t tried the damned sandwich.  I’m not really a big chicken fan.  However, I will give a shout out to Pollo Campero and their competing crispy chicken sandwich.  It was delicious.

I always hated “gravy” growing up.  Somehow, I was well into my twenties before I realized “pan sauce” is great, while “gravy” is gross.

Your taco take is the best taco take. I fully concur. Sometimes you want a good taco. Sometimes, you just crave trash, and I’m proud of the trash taco tradition my people (boring suburban white dudes) have established.

Oh, man, you’re making me uncomfortable imagining all of these. I was a youngest child, so never really hung out with young kids (my next oldest sibling was 6 years older). The first day of school, seeing kids sharing soda gave me a nervous breakdown. The burger thing... my wife always wants to try my burger, and the…

No regrets. I don't even mind oiling them twice a year. 

We did our kitchen about ten years ago. My wife wanted white on white on white on white. I used up decades worth of losing out on disagreements to fight for butcher block counter top. At least something between the white floor, white cabinets, white walls, etc.

While not exactly the same, this reminds me of the Littledeer paddle that I love for exactly the same reasons.

If that's how I came off, I apologize. I meant that yes, almonds waste a ton of water to produce. But that there are lots of avenues for water waste. I wasn't countering the OPs point, just adding on to it. 

The salt shakes usually stop me.

Yep.  Again, and I can't emphasize this enough, I was an indoor kid with no exposure to mechanical tasks. I was well into my thirties before I got up the courage to think about dismantling any machine. You Tube gave even as useless a lump as me some hope. 

What else would you use to give a little squirty-squirt on your friedy-fries?

While yes, that sounds terrible, water waste is everywhere. If you don’t get to the last egg in the carton? That’s over 50 gallons of water lost to food waste.

I grew up in a similar scenario.  Tiny little mountain town, about forty minutes away from the next small town that had a regional grocery store.  Every Saturday was a trip to the grocery, laundromat, etc.  Granted, at this time, gas was well under a dollar a gallon, but my parents still made sure to combine trips.

Can confirm. I’m a no-talent hack with no mechanical aptitude, and have managed many repairs with dodgy tube videos.

Good lord, Trung Nam.  The first time I wandered in there, I kicked myself for avoiding it for five years.

I used to absolutely hate raw tomatoes.  After I turned 25, I finally moved somewhere where I could have good tomatoes, and that changed.  You never know when a long held hatred turns around on you.

Right now, I have, in my snack drawer:

Agreed. I’m not a huge cookie fan to start with, but if I’m going to bother, it won’t be with Girl Scout cookies.

That’s the place!  I’ve been meaning to stop in since they remodeled.
