I had heard about mole so once I was at a lunch where I had brought your average bean-and-meat chili and someone had brought chocolate balls, so I put a few in, and the combination was surprisingly tasty. Then again I also sometimes make peach-jerk chili, substituting jerk powder for the red pepper and peaches for the meat, and it’s also pretty darn good (the peach and the allspice in the jerk make it taste christmas-y). > [@burpo\_the\_wonder\_mutt](#): > > And I thought the heading was …Officially Wired.

I bought - and ate - a pre-packaged tuna salad sandwich from a filthy truth stop in central Illinois. I enjoyed it, but my brother was horrified. ---

When I was little, any time we had baked beans with dinner my father would add a few squeezes of yellow mustard to his beans and stir it in before he at them. I picked up the habit from him and I always assumed it was a pretty common thing. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I discovered that it wasn’t a common thing, or even a common thing in Boston where he grew up - as far as I can tell, it was just something that he and he alone did. It’s good, though. ---

I’d expect those in Texas, for some reason. (Packaged sandwiches are usually made somewhere else, so you were probably safer than you and your brother thought.) ---

There is a “truth stop” on I-10 west of Ft. Stockton. If you have any left-over tuna fish sandwiches, give those to them while they sniff your vehicle. The dogs, not the officers - as they require steak and shrimp :D. They may let you pass through. ---

> [@Scribble](#): > > What’s a truth stop? > > Please enlighten those of us who live in places without them. I surmise it was meant as “truck stop”. A place where excellent cuisine is served to those fine folks who haul freight, load up with fuel, and buy a shower ticket. I was playing off the mis-spelling. (There is a Border Patrol stop where I mentioned.
