This is because I have relocated and have a new job. A job that enables me to afford the finer things in life, like a living room, good internet and an unlimited cell plan.
On my way out to Tucson, where I am presently residing, I developed an odd craving or two on the road. And all caution was thrown to the wind. I ate what I want, when I wanted and I didn't give a fig.
My hands were cut from all the moving I did, ergo, the last thing I wanted on my hands was salt.
And yet, there was this craving for Lay's Limon Potato Chips (TM). I opened the bag, while driving the truck (yes, a big fat truck!) and poked my face into the bag and lifted out a chip with my tongue. Delicious. Eating the chips without touching them with my hands changed the flavor. Instead of the usual taste, I could detect hints of Kellogg's Fruit Loops (TM) in the chips. It was indeed, a sublime experience, which taught me this: the taste of your fingers DOES influence the taste of the food. True, it's subtle. But from now on, I will eat Lay's Limon Potato Chips (TM) with just my mouth.
I remain,
Hilda Stinson
