One time, as I was scooping the Salsa onto my taco, Jacky couldn’t resist commenting “You really love Salsa.”
I asked “How did you know?”
Jacky said “Your Salsa is falling off from your taco…”
I make real good use of every square inch of my tortillas and scoop as much Salsa as I could, as if I was a Shopper in Supermarket Sweep shoveling groceries in my shopping cart!
