Summer Thoughts

[blurstoftimes]

Inspired by recent summer-related events, I have begun to feel compelled to address an issue that I feel has affected just about everyone in America at some time or another

Amen

I work at a cafe where I scoop fruit salad every day. This fruit salad is made up of grapes, pineapple, and of course, cantaloupe and honey dew. With every scoop I shake my head in frustration at the mass overuse of these generally disappointing melons and I embrace your cause whole-heartedly, Joe Bernardi.

For the record, apples are often left out of fruit salad because they turn brown too quickly.

I think that if there was a wider array of salads, people would also be inclined to take smaller portions of each and thereby everyone would be able to partake in the fruit and berry goodness of a properly made fruit salad, as well as its festive salad compatriots.

I wonder if, then, places/people include them in such abundance because they are cheap?

It's funny to think, then, how much salad is just thrown away because lesser fruits are included.

Also, tomato fresca salad, made with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and balsamic vinegar, is a most refreshing summer treat.

i'm fine with mom's salad as long as i get to eat all the grapes, pineapples and strawberries out of it before anyone else does.

i personally like melon in fruit salad, i think the problem is that the "mass produuuced" fruit salads use subpar melon which is tough and flavorless.

i hate grapes in fruit salad. the consistency of them. just doesn't jiiiive.

[blurstoftimes]

ya mom is tough and flavorless

[bubblemonologue]

okay, first of all, honey dew melon and cantaloupe are the ONLY melons i like in my fruit salad. fuck watermelon, that shit makes the whoel thing taste like its watery ass because its juices marinate the whole fucking thing. fucking asshole.

secondly, you cant request apples in fresh fruit salad because apples brown too easily. they are very perishable. anybody who has ever hear of a refridgerator or cold air knows this. anyone who doesn't is, to reiterate, a fucking asshole, just like that watermelon bullshit.

third, offering potato salad as an alternative ot fruit salad is the dumbest idea i've ever read from an angry internet lurker. i mean, a) potato salad is basically the non sequitor salad of the salad genre, b) it is oo savory to even be COMPARED to fruit salad, and c) that is such a fucking stupid idea because potato salad is mayonnaisy and slimy and only fucking assholes and pedophiles enjoy it.

i would suggest more pineapple though. p-app is the shit.

and, as i told joe, apples aren't in season in the summer.

[blurstoftimes]

You also like potato salad, meaning she called you either a pedophile or an asshole.

i never said i liked it, i said i was going to make it.

and if you recall (which you won't cause you never listen to me), i couldn't find a recipe that didn't sound disgusting.

cunt.
