This explains so much

Sometime after you've known me for a while (or maybe even at the beginning; I'm not very good at masking my weird tendencies), you'll probably be with me at a restaurant, or in my kitchen while I'm cooking, and do a double take when you think you see something you couldn't possible have seen -- me pouring or scooping salt into my hand and eating it. I am a saltaholic. I love salt. And as it turns out, it's my drug of choice. Thanks for all the delicious times and my cheery disposition, old buddy old pal!
