Salsa Thursday!

Every morning, when I pack myself some food for the day at work, I feel like I'm preparing for a picnic! All the food I take, apart from my junk-food-vending-machine.. It gets me through the individual day, but how do I get through an entire week? The secret: Salsa Thursdays.. Tada!!! Every Thursday, Pam brings in Salsa that she makes at home, plus two bags of chips, and sets them down on the table downstairs.. This countdown to Thursday kinda takes the blues off the first three days back at work, how psycho am I! Oooh, I wait till its 9:00 am on Thursdays to rush down and pretty much be among her first 'customers'. The interesting part is about the salsa.

Americans, in general, don't seem to be too tolerant of spicy stuff. Look at all the cheese - my point has been made. But of course, me the great, would die without spice in all probability. And Pam makes this spicy stuff, and if I say spicy, then you should understand how spicy it must be! And I simply looove it. So, the funny thing is to see how these folks eat the salsa. They take a bunchload of chips, sprinkle some salsa over it, like we sprinkle holy water on our food after a puja!!! And then, they huff and puff about the spice, and drink a gallon of Coke/water! Hehe.. and when they see me dip my chip in the salsa bowl and bring up a pile of 'liquid fire' to my mouth, they just watch like I'm one of those 'freakshow' corners at the carnivals! Tickles me pink.. Long live salsa.. I'll surely miss these Thursdays once I'm done with the internship!
