Andy showed up late, as usual. He was wearing capris for men and a rugby shirt circa 1992. At first I was a little miffed by him sitting on the same side of the table as me, but I quickly adjusted to it after realizing that the restaurant only had one menu for us to share.
I ordered a diet coke and Andy only drank water. I have this weird little habit of dipping my finger into my diet soda and rubbing my fingers together to see if its sticky (i.e. regular coke). I have a sneaking suspicion that someone somewhere is trying to make me fat.
Andy had his heart set on nachos. I was on a burrito streak that started in April and didn't feel like breaking it. I ordered a burrito. You can tell a lot about a Mexican food establishment by sampling their salsa. La Fonda met my expectations.
As for my pre-lunch predictions, the following came true:
1) I ate too many chips & salsa, spoiling my appetite

I'm going to start doing that Diet Coke trick. Regular sugar/high fructose gives me a stomach ache and makes my teeth feel fuzzy so I order diet. I always wonder if I'm getting regular instead of diet. And it's hard to test for (until now). I would have to wait a half hour or so after drinking it to see if I get any sugar symptoms.
Wait, is this true? You can feel the dietness?
Oh and I am disappointed. I was hoping for some secret possibility to occur.
If you've ever spilled regular coke all over yourself (in your car for example) you've noticed that it leaves sticky, sugary residue everywhere. That's the basis for my diet coke "Sticky Fingers" test. I hope you find this information useful.
Isn't La Fonda the name of the cousins girlfriend in Napoleon Dynamite?
sounds about right
