now I see I stumbled down a rabbit hole named “archived.”

oh, wait, I see you’re writing from the past. I’m not eating anything perishable from your house at all.

though I am very impressed by your ability to post from the future. Who won the Texas v. A&M game?

well, now I’m definitely not eating the “guacamole” at your house . . .

The obvious choice when dealing with this crowd is to publicly and copiously spit in everything you put in the fridge.

There’s actually a grocery store called “Treasure Island”? Hahahahahaha!

I’m sure their prices are highway robbery. You pay a hand and a leg for them. Maybe an eye too. The good stuff is all buried on the lower shelf and while you’re digging for your treasure they’ll plunder your booty.

I really hope this place is run by a guy named “Flint” and that he has a pet parrot. “Braaawwk! Polly want some guacamole!”

I must visit this place. If only I had a map.

As much as I hate to be serious, there are two ways to keep guacamole from turning brown:

1. Adding something acidic immediately after opening the avocado helps (tomatoes, lime/lemon juice).

2. But the real issue is oxidation. So you put a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and smooth out any air bubbles. That’ll keep it green for days.

Now, snark on!

What dorm is this in? I know in Broadview we had similar signs suggesting labeling your food, and anything unlabeled was just free-for-all.

Not in Hyde Park (the location of UChicago). The nearest grocery store is a Treasure Island, and those prices aren’t exactly “student friendly.”

The salutation(!) is also incorrect. It should start “To whomever…”. Unless it’s equivalent to “To the person who ate my guacamole (whoever that is)”. Hmm, this is harder than I thought…

Would much rather vent my anger that way than be known as the girl who belligerently interrogated everyone about guacamole.

The truly passive aggressive response would involve stealing everyone else’s shit. Passive Aggressive and delicious.
