I am most seriously displeased

Maybe it was because I just wrote the post below, but I had pepper on my mind when I went to the cafeteria this afternoon. Therefore, I noticed that there was a little basket containing little packets marked “Salt”, and low and behold “Pepper”. Since I’m fond of pepper, I was quite pleased about this.

I happily opened one up and began to sprinkle it on my food, foolishly believing that just because it was labeled “pepper”, it would actually be pepper. Silly me. It was in fact, cinnamon. Strangely it wasn’t pure cinnamon, I think it had some cloves and maybe something else on it. In any case, it should have been on a Christmas cookie somewhere, not on my lunch.

Oh, man, that's terrible. Reminds me of the diner my father and I ate in in East Nowhere, Idaho once on a road trip. He poured some sugar from the dispenser into his coffee and took one sip -- you guessed it -- SALT. Idjits.

According to this link, cinnamon helps in burning fat. Maybe that's the reason! ;)

I shall send you individual packets of pepper with Mom so that you can enjoy your lunch properly seasoned.
