Previously, I&#8217;ve posted about how much I despise the act of stealing.  Lately I&#8217;ve been doing some soul-searching regarding a habit Wendy and I have developed.  I&#8217;ll let ya&#8217;ll be the judge, tell me if you think this dishonest.<\/p>\n<p>The story regards hot sauce.  Not just any old picante&#8217; though, we are talking about the little packets you get when you order Taco Bell.  You see, Wendy and I have developed quite the liking for these things.  However bizarre this might sound, indulge me for a moment more.<\/p>\n<p>At our household, we make burritos several times per week.  The kids just love them.  A typical trip to the grocery store will always net several cans of refried beans, packages of tortillas &#038; pounds of cheese.  While the kids prefer them plain, Wendy and I must have our Taco Sauce.  I thought our problem was solved when I purchased a jar of Taco Bell sauce, but it&#8217;s just not the same.  Nothing can seem to replace them tasty little packets.<\/p>\n<p>So here is what we do.  On occasion, we will go to Taco Bell and place an order to carry out.  Once our bags of food are given to us&#8230; we&#8217;ll make a trip to the condiment bar &#038; grab extra handfuls of these packets.  At home, we store them in a kitchen drawer for future use.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; tell me what you think?  Does that qualify as dishonest?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel the need to make a confession. Previously, I&#8217;ve posted about how much I despise the act of stealing.
