The connections go deeper than that. The secret ingredient that turns a queso into that smooth velvety stuff you pour on nachos? Sodium citrate, chemical formula Na(3)C(6)H(5)O(7)

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

My bet is many, many years. 🤣🤣

Well, now I have the name for the chemical that may comprise as much as 37% of my diet. I suppose I coulda read the ingredient list, but who has time for that?

If Congress can’t read, why should you?

Omg, it's not cream that makes the cheese velvety?

this blew my mind. this REALLY blew my mind.

You're getting it from a jar and you're thinking there's cream in it?

Que, so? = Spanglish

k, so ra, so ra whatever will be will be. Frenchlish?

Expand full comment

IIRC we used to use the term "Franglaise".

Expand full comment

Froglish, actually.

Expand full comment

LOL!

Expand full comment

...That's still Spanglish. The French 'que' is pronounced differently.

Jokes on gringo. While melted cheese with stabilizers and preservatives is timeless, borders, as it turns out, are ethereal. Mere ideas to be debated over street tacos and lime lagers. Eventually, gringo gets muy gordo and then you can just walk in. The lesson: of wars and queso, always go all in with your chips before it gets cold.

K, so I can has queso!

Gosh, coming from a multi language family (german french dutch english) we used to

do a lot of these funny things with words.

Have courage gatito bueno, when I came to the US from Europe, wowie I thought I understood English, but this whole American language thing was a giant slap in the face for a 9 year old me.

Good grief. I could not understand anyone! We moved to Maryland that was just mayhem.

Rosemary, I was born in the US and English is my native tongue. I have lived in Maryland for over 20 years, and I'm still baffled by half the stuff out of Balmer-ites (that's how they pronounce Baltimore around here). My boss is from Dundalk -- a blue collar Baltimore neighborhood that once was dominated by the Bethlehem Steel plant until globalization shut it down -- and after-office happy hours have revealed that his college-acquired normal person accent is soluble in alcohol.

Expand full comment

yes, I knew it was not only me.

Well, as a child, I decided to become a really good speller, and wanted to learn to speak and be understood. I accomplished both of those things. Meantime, I have always encountered people who ask me where I am from (I tell them I am from nowhere). There are still people, many many people I can not understand. Baltimore is one place. Any place that people speak way to fast and smash all of their words together.

got a warning that your site is unsafe -- came here anyway, as I always do -- 1st time this has happened

Expand full comment

Only unsafe if you’re a sourpuss!

Expand full comment

Could just be the clock is wrong on your computer.

Expand full comment

thanks for the hint -- will check it out

Expand full comment

Another site (BPR) just noted that MSFT had flagged substack as potentially unsafe. I would hope that we are unsafe for our overlords of tech and WEF.

Expand full comment

Thanks for the info -- not surprising -- will continue to ignore the warning.

Expand full comment

Yes. I’ve logged into the comment section of 3 different substack articles and had the “dangerous” warning….which I usually ignore. Censorship continues unabated.

Expand full comment

LSMFT. You gotta be pretty old to remember this.

Someone was probably very embarasado about the whole thing.

Expand full comment

Only if that someone is a man. In Spanish, "embarazado" means pregnant. 🤪

How to delete the pregnant man emoji’s from the iPhone? Why isn’t the looney left embarasado?

oh my god I had no idea I was just typing words at random what is a spanish

Expand full comment

You would not be the first to make that particular mistake. When I lived in Panama, that specific example was used to make the point, don't guess at the Spanish word for something, ask or look it up!

In other words, better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it.

Yep. Sort of like “Hold my beer”. It rarely turns out like you think it will.

A (positive, ethical, honest, elevated, decent, human) spiritual solution is the only answer.

All of us need to ask God (not Satan) for forgiveness now because we’ve all really messed up and then we need to elevate ourselves to our greatest being quickly or It’s over for humans.

We are dealing with your continuation of Paperclip & they and their ideas are everywhere. That’s what I see.

I just want to be a normal person who takes care of kids and the neighbors & elevates tue world. I don’t like what I feel or see.
