because rebl1969 asked nicely (and since photos of their cute kid just brightened up her & mehetabel's journals, i'm about to show off A-chan once again - its friday night and she's asleep so hopefully no distractions will occur...i'm also finally uploading japan pictures too, so if my exhaustive diaries made you wonder "did he really go, or did he just make this

Condiments?

[ikahana]

DAMN! You beat me. My post should now be retired, but I'm leaving it up!

[vertamae]

:D

"condiments" appears to have been the big winner of this survey with the popular vote, but i had a few problems with it

Condiments maybe? But that sounds so wrong if you are talking about Mexican food. I think it is safe to say "salsas" although most of them aren't at all, but I know that some of the far less authentic places have what they call a "salsa bar" where they also toss the onions and limes and cilantro and stuff. I think garnishes is good too.

I'm really in no mind to be thinking straight however. I guess we are blowing off seeing No Neck Blues Band tonight, although they are playing in a tiny little space that would be a perfect place to see them. I'm giving myself a MIGRAINE realizing that once again I'm blowing off a show I really want to see. Also, I don't think we are making it to a friend's birthday party. First it was both - then one or the other - now neither. I'm just SOO tired. And old. And fishmael has to work in the morning. And now Aspen is acting odd, although I doubt we will have a Dog Drama Redux.

I'm loving these LJ year at a glance things, but I'm afraid to do mine. This weekend I swear I'll comment or email or

i just overanalyzed the "condiments" concerns in my reply to vertamae - but now i really have the urge to force you to visit atlanta, because only the authentic places around here (well, not counting dreck like moe's, although i pray thats a chain that has not darkened your doorstep in the PNW) have salsa bars - and they're FANTASTIC! and atlanta's temperatures are currently in the 40s/50s, so there's no better time to come - you know there's no way out of this now...

it sounds like everyone had a quiet friday night - if it helps you any, the NNCKers are apparently a group that likes to deal in extremes, so for every great show they put on they do some "ehh" shows as well...for your sake, i hope it was one of the latter on friday night...

hoping all is well with aspen - its just a bad time of year, i guess...and you've already praised me too much with the music i sent you - well, i shouldn't say "too much" because there's never enough - but everything you've said so far has been very much appreciated!

Hey, you buy the plane ticket and I'm there this weekend ;-)

I keep telling fishmael that we need to get out of town, even if it is just for a weekend. I love Seattle, but I really need a change of scenery and a mental health vacation. We have been trying to get a weekend in Portland, which is all of THREE HOURS away for over a year now. Can't seem to do it. Portland, by the way, is a must see when you finally get out here to the land that is (at least as far as I know) free from "moe's", although the PNW has a chain of "burrito" places called Taco del Mar (Taco they call it, when 95% of their business and menu is this thing they call a burrito - which isn't what normal folks would refer to as a burrito) which are just a few notches under classification: generic/bland

[spanishbombs]

I would probably just call them garnishes or condiments.

"Toppings"

[psyched_out]

yes! this is the word i like the best, because it defines the items as nice extras & its easy to say/remember - you've made mr. taco very happy!

[rebl1969]

Give my best to Mr. Taco, then!

[hedorah]

HA, your monthly summary is just perfect!

[psyched_out]

thanks, although it feels a little weird looking back, seeing how one week in may got stretched out to 4 months' worth of special sentences - i feel like i cheated!

i'm going to try a butterfinger crisp today from our snack machine, on your recommendation! i also bought egg nog last week, because it had been so long since i had it that i didn't remember what it tasted like - you have no idea how influential you are!
