Thank you. Will do.

Interesting factoid: X-box (hyphenated) comes from the ancient Mayan Xboox where "X" is the femenine article and "boox" the noun meaning black/dark, literally meaning "The dark one".

The town got its name after a local legend that stated that a dark woman figure appeared by the town's water well.

Some people have this tradition to name their kids after x or y relative, I would never do that.

I caught myself in an old defense mechanism loop and was able to stop, breath, sit with the discomfort and own that motherfucking trauma response for what it is, then dismiss it and carry on with my day. So, like a very proud ten.

Atta OP! I am cheering for your new found solution

Yeah now they do and I feel kinda vindicated TBH. Back when I was a kid this dish was compared to dog food by some of my classmates and teachers, I kid you not. Maybe I still carry some of that trauma and I wouldn't serve it to guests but I will gladly cook it for me and my kid, who also loves it.

Thank you for taking your time to explain what these were to my ignorant ass lol

Cut up tortillas, fry them with some salt, when crispy crack two or three eggs in there and scramble. I grew up eating it and while it is delicious I don't think I would serve it to guests.

I'm sorry, pickled what now? Is it some obscure vegetable I've never heard about? Or are they like actual bird eyes like from a chicken?

ETA: I have read and downloaded many of your recommendations and have had lots of fun reading them! You are such a welcoming enthusiastic bunch. Thanks a lot! Still looking for more suggestions in case someone wants to add to the ever growing list. So far this year I have read twenty seven books.

Looking for some good mystery novels/short story compilation, etc. Preferably no sci fi or futuristic stuff, no Stephen King. TIA.

FWIW just finished reading "We have to talk about Kevin" by Lionel Shriver. It was OK.

As stated above. I can go months without eating an egg, for example, and suddenly crave eggs benedict for breakfast everyday.

Good thing is my dietitian is aware of this executive dysfunction/quirk/habit and works closely with me to help me out planning meals in a way that works me.

Right now I am on a soup kick: Soup, soup, soup everyday, all day.

ETA A word
