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.

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.

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.
