Condiments

Happy Tuesday! I hope that all of you have had a good weekend and are having a good week! I have had a pretty chill weekend. I finished a lot of random things that needed to get done. I also spent a lot of time with Ashley, and by spending a lot of time with her I mean we sat in the same area while she finishes her dissertation. We are getting down to the wire… I tease her that this is how she is writing! haha Almost there!!

I had a very frustrating day yesterday! I have a kid that is habitually late to my class after lunch and his mom is just like oh yeah I will talk to him, nothing changes. The faculty bathroom smells like an old gas station bathroom. You know like the ones you need to get a key to use but yet are always gross. Then to top it off I had texted a parent last Monday to tell them that their child came to school without a computer and we had testing the next day so please help their child remember to bring her computer the next day. I didn’t hear from them till today, when they sent me a screenshot of a Julienne/slicer with no words. I am not sure if it went to the wrong person or if I was threatened. So I am very much feeling the “I need to be away from this place for a week” kind of mood. Today just seemed off. I don’t know. I am just ready for break!

On that note let’s have a little fun. I asked a bunch of people “If you could only have one condiment for the rest of your life what would it be?”. So what do you consider a condiment? Google says that it is a substance used to enhance the flavor of food. Some friends and I sort of decided that a condiment would be anything that you would add to your food to add flavor but the food would be ok without it. So after a Gute pole here is how it shook out

  • Ketchup……………………….14
  • Mustard………………………..8
  • Mayonnaise…………………..3
  • Ranch…………………………..13
  • BBQ Sauce……………………4
  • Salsa…………………………….4
  • European Tarter Sauce ….1
  • Chile Crisp……………………..1
  • Dill relish………………………..1
  • Hot Sauce……………………..2
  • Chick-fil-a sauce……………2
  • Ailoli………………………………1
  • Comeback……………………..1
  • Chulula…………………………..1
  • Balsamic Vinegar…………….1
  • Canes Sauce…………………..1
  • Melted cheese………………..1

I was very intrigued with some of your answers, justifications and the explanations. Also, I was very intrigued what you people consider condiments! Some people were very specific about the type, brand or flavor but I just lumped them in to 1. I enjoyed hearing (or reading rather) the way people talked through why they chose what they chose!

Well I should get to work on some homework and stuff done! I hope that everyone has a great rest of the week! If you didn’t answer the question, what condiment would you use the rest of your life?
