I love Thai (easy to cook--I make a mean Larb Gai), Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Indian.
I'm not so high on Korean, but that's a bad food poisoning experience speaking.
If I could, I'd eat sushi every single day.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I tuned in to a schoolteacher saying massively embarrassing things to one of her student's fathers who was a cop interrogating her.
I didn't mean I didn't know if it was charming or not. I have no idea what I meant.
You'd think, what with it being my brain and all, but it doesn't seem to help.
Watch Night Detective. Nicky is the cutest.

Well, I totally have reasons to visit Portland now, Cass, which is great because I've always wanted to go there. And I'd love to go back to Seattle.
Crosspost with Bitches. Soooo. I need to try and take out a loan to offset the cost of my gap-year excursion to work in Britain and Ireland. I also would like to be in a position to pay off my credit card and my shopping cards before I leave the continent in August. But I'm at a loss of where to start. I'm not fully employed (just work-study), but I don't know if that's a factor; and I don't think I can take out a student loan, see as I'm not using this for academics. Can you guys give me advice on where to go, what to say? I don't even know if there's terminology for gap years in America.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am so scoring pad thai tonight.There's a place Pamela took us that has the most amazing crab pad thai. For that, I am totally breaking my new restaurants or new dishes rule. I am going to be eating that as often as possible.

I love Thai and Chinese and Indian food. I don't much like ginger, but I find I can avoid ginger-heavy foods in those cuisines. Japanese, I dislike. The whole miso undertaste gives me the mouth creeps.
I'm with Robin (as with so many things). I love almost all asian cuisines except Japanese. I can happily eat Indian food several times a week. Thai is more of a once a week treat.

You'd think, what with it being my brain and all, but it doesn't seem to help.Eh, my brain was *exactly* there last night. I think there is email proof of that even.
And I have the tv already set to watch the show.
Well, I totally have reasons to visit Portland now, Cass, which is great because I've always wanted to go there.Yes! The guest room is going to be quite comfy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't eat sushi for months at a time, but once I'm reminded of the taste of wasabi and soy sauce, I can't get enough for a while.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
All this Seattle talk makes me glad this weekend is coming soon.
eta: Jesse, you should do what I do and just eat it (sushi it, I mean, not IT it) all the time. Then you wouldn't have that problem.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My main food texture issue is broccoli--the taste is ok, if rather bland, but the top, with all those seed-y bits, is just yucko the way it feels in my mouth.

Food texture issues are just weird. My brain literally can't conceive of something being both desirably delicious and tactile-ly displeasing.
When I lost my sense of taste, I relied on texture to satisfy my tactile food needs. If I was out for dinner with friends, I'd decide what to order by deciding whether I wanted something crunchy, something cold, something hot, or greasy...
Regarding your second point, JZ, I love the flavour of vanilla, but can't stand the texture of pudding, so I'd never eat vanilla pudding.
