Trick ,'First Date'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
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.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.
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.
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.
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.
Hmmm. I love Japanese food (I lurve miso), and tend to avoid Indian and Vietnamese. Too many flavors/textures happening at once.
