No tossed salad joke? Toast, I am frowning like a cashew, if you hold the cashew in the way that it looks like a frown.

the cashew thing you said is the cutest thing!
“I prefer sandwiches”

“You’re probably looking for Grindr”

AHAHAHAHA, REGIONALLY SPECIFIC SANDWICH JOKE! Oh, The Toast, you get me.

definitely the most hilarious part of my day, that line.
That is very cute indeed.

I would love to bond with someone over salad. I think about salads rather often, and about the various textures and ingredients that form the perfect combination. Basic principles of the salad bar: heaps of raw kale, some form of noodle, some form of protein, and maybe some other vegetables but kale reigns supreme. CHICKPEAS NEED NOT APPLY.

Anyway, the guy who can learn to make me my perfect salad (or sandwich, I suppose) is a keeper.
This struck me as SO funny and I don't even really get why but I love it.

I really like this but I'm still disappointed that it was not a Jolie salad post.
