okay, cool. I get in a goofy mood and start writing like I talk in real life,
but unfortunately you can't hear the inflections or see my face so sometimes
the jokes get lost.

you used to get it easier here, but all the places where I used to buy it
started phasing it out and replacing it with other brands which are either too
spicy and drown out the flavor of the tomatillos or are loaded with thickeners
which ruin the texture.

We have a pretty good mexican population here, and you can get the other
Herdez salsas everywhere, but the salsa verde is becoming scarce.

My friend from Calexico brought me a metric buttload of salsas and sauces from
Mexicali when she came to visit, even some Herdez ones i'd never seen. I
didn't like the Ranchera at all, and it looks like it would be good. The
chipotle wasn't bad, the chile de arbol and the cinco chiles were ultra super
hot
