Making Friends

Tuesday, November 20, 2007

My new coworker Sean lives down the street from me. He came over to eat jambalaya the other day, since we were both hungry.

“You’re going to be appalled by what I usually eat for dinner,” he said, scarfing down a bowl of chicken-sausagey goodness. He paused for drama and then said “there is this certain type of salsa that they sell at the corner store-”

“Salsa isn’t so appalling, what’s the big deal?”

“Well, it has a lot of salt and the chips have lots of fat,” he replied. “But to be healthy, I have increased my salsa to chip ratio by purchasing Tostitos Dipping Chips.”

“You’re just going to eat more salsa then. Chips are the part that’s filling.”

“Not if I finish the tub of salsa.”

I wondered how my stomach would feel after an entire 16oz package of salsa, but decided to stick to jambalaya.

The next day, I used this information to kick off my gossipy reputation in the new office. “Guess what Sean eats for dinner!” I would announce to people as they entered the building. “Three tubs of salsa a week!”
