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.

In general, I prefer the Indian aesthetic of WAY TOO MUCH ALL THE TIME (as seen in Bollywood and various masalas) to the Japanese aesthetic of spare purity (as seen in tea ceremonies and sushi).

Well, yeah. But it gets pricey.
My house is so small that you could maybe put in a hidden mousehole if you tried hard. Or possibly a cat door between the kitchen and living room....
