Salteñas are a type of empanada found in Bolivia, and one of Bolivias most famous and beloved culinary exports. Like many such foodstuffs, the exact composition varies, but salteñas are generally notable for a few features: a sweet and spicy flavor, a more liquid-y filling than other empanadas, and a filling containing a wider variety of ingredients--sort of like a whole meal in a pocket, like a pot pie. A typical salteña might contain something like chicken, a whole hard-boiled egg, raisins, peas, carrots, potatoes, and olives, as an example. Vegetarian or vegan salteñas are less commonly found due to the relative lack of vegetarianism in Bolivia, but there is nothing in the definition of the dish that precludes a vegan salteña.

Salteñas are also a great option for a meal on a budget. You can often find them for $2 or $3 at local restaurants or food stands, and with their everything-but-the-kitchen-sink fillings and larger size, one or two can easily make a satisfying meal.

    Found a cat wandering along a neighborhood street with a collar on. Collar doesn't say anything about whether it's indoor or outdoor but has two phone numbers. Called both twice, started to get really upset that I had to make a choice on what to do with this cat. Thankfully, I got a call back and the guy was like "uhh... she's an indoor outdoor cat, it's fine" with a confused annoyed tone as if it was absurd for me to call him.

    This is the second time in a row this has happened. Fuck these lazy stupid assholes for having indoor-outdoor cats, and not putting anything on their tags about it. It just means that people in that neighborhood make assumptions about wandering cats and are less likely to call if someone's indoor cat got out.

      If you're gonna have a collar with a number maybe also mention whether they're indoor
