Technically I could add them but I don't need the carbs and I hate handling
meat. But it's all good. I don't much like eating meat anyway.

"Bears are thought to have the best sense of smell of any animal on
earth. For example, the average dog¢s sense of smell is 100 times
better than a humans. A blood hound¢s is 300 times better. A bear¢s
sense of smell is 7 times better than a blood hound¢s or 2,100 times
better than a human."

Grabbing a heap of ground animal flesh and folding and mashing it all
about in a savage yet sensuous manner is not for folks of delicate
constitution. It's no shame on your part.

I think a basset hounds sense of smell is as good as a bloodhounds.

You're not far off:

Thanks. For the most part I could seriously be a whole food person. Give
me some popcorn, cut up raw veggies and cooked beans and I'll be happy.
However, there are times when I want something more. Like a soup or
enchiladas. Plus I do like to cook and bake. I am going a bit batty now
because I cooked so much up at once. And people are likely to not be here
for dinner tonight. I am itching to cook! I probably won't though as
stomach is giving me fits. Not sure why but I bought some made up Pico De
Gallo at Walmart and it tasted strongly of vinegar. It might have been
spoiled. I don't normally buy that stuff but I bought some somewhere a
couple of times and it was really good. Obviously that kind wasn't it.

They claim basset hounds can't swim, neither can bulldogs.

Ah yes, tartness - is it supposed to be so tart or is it spoiled? I
guess if you're not sure, it don't matter!

You do need acid. Normally it is lime juice but sometimes lemon. This is
the stuff.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Marketside...10-oz/13893737

They used lime juice. The fact that it tasted of vinegar and not of lime
makes me think spoiled.

Many years ago, a health food store went in briefly next to where I worked.
Odd how quickly things came and went. I had forgotten about it until this
happened. I bought some bean dip in there as I love bean dip. I can't
remember now if it was Bearitos or Beanitos brand but it was inedible. It
contained vinegar and the vinegar was so overpowering, that was all I could
taste. I was sitting in the employee's lounge making faces and complaining
of it. Other people just pooh poohed this, telling me that bean dip
SUPPOSED to have vinegar in it. And I was like... But you don't
understand! Taste it! They wouldn't. It was a very expensive product so I
tried to eat it but I just could not and had to throw it out.

I'm also not so sure that most bean dip contains vinegar. Mine does not but
they were telling me that it was needed for the canning of it.
