    1 min read

    I think I’ve found my new favorite chips.They’re called Ghost Pepper Potato Chips. I found them on the bottom shelf at Trader Joe’s. They sound spicy but they’re actually not that bad. Hot Cheetos are much more spicy. They do have a slight kick. They’re pretty crunchy (I’m assuming because they’re “kettle cooked.”) The lattice…

    My friends were talking about how frozen yogurt should taste. Many of my NorCal friends did NOT like LA’s pinkberry at all. They said it was too tart and that frozen yogurt should NOT be sour.

    Here’s a chalkboard summary of my summer in China: I don’t like to be friendly. I don’t like people. I don’t like friendly people. I don’t like sharing food. I don’t like hugs in hot weather. Thanks a lot for not letting me be comfortable, FRIENDS.
