Oh, please, come on. What is this, a meeting of POEM (Professional Organization of English Majors)? Let's discuss the burritos, not grammar. We make burritos on a regular basis...with additional condiments such as salsa (regular ol' Pace), pickled jalapenos/carrots, and/or a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Beans & tortillas are really one of the world's best food combinations, a perfect protein complement. Easy to make it vegan too, just use soy cheese.

Don't think I could ever go the "no 'poo" route...my hair & skin are both very oily. For awhile I was able to shampoo every other day, and that seemed tolerable, but when the warm weather arrived, I began breaking out on my scalp, and forehead, and along the sides of my face, basically anywhere my oily hair touched. (Yes, I tried headbands, etc., to keep the hair away from my face, but that didn't work.) I will try the every other day shampoo again when the weather gets cooler, but I think I'm someone who just naturally has too much oil to go long without a shampoo. My compromise is to buy a brand of organic shampoo they sell @ Whole Foods (can't think of the name). It is very, very gentle, but it cleans effectively. BTW, regarding "vinegar rinses": in the old days (1960s), my mother did use a vinegar rinse occasionally, to clear shampoo & styling product residue. And no matter how much you rinse with water afterward, that vinegar scent is with you. Apartment Therapy Re-Nest \| The "No-'Poo" Movement Most Popular Posts Flag this comment	9/2/09 1:37 PM
I think some people are unable to build a tolerance, no matter what they try. My mother was Mexican, and loved her hot sauces. She tried to get me to sample them, when I was young, and I could never handle the pain. The family joke was that I inherited my dad's Polish/Italian/German tastebuds. To this day, I can barely handle "medium" hot salsa, no matter if I eat dairy or whatever to calm the sensation. The mouth pain lingers and lingers. However, my husband (who is Greek), seemed to pick up a tolerance in his teens, when he hung out with his Mexican friends, eating tacos, etc. He finds it funny that I can't do spicy!
