I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

What is even happening?

I support you on this. Not with brocoli in particular, though it's right on the border of what I can swallow, but some foods taint everything they touch. Peanuts are the worst. If you stack a chocolate chip cookie on a peanut butter cookie, the chocolate chip cookie will smell like peanut butter and I can't eat it. And I will be very sad as a result.
Cookie mixing is a crime against God and nature.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am with you, Sophia, on the nastiness of melon. I can eat around it if I am trying really hard to be polite, but the taste definitely spreads.

Oddly, Midori tastes okay to me.

Creepy robotic cookware tells you how to cook with itself.

Normally I'm all in favor of robots in the home, but I don't like these.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I love melon. But I hate melon at most restaurants, because it's been cut too soon and isn't sweet enough by far. I avoid fruit salad in restaurants like the plague.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Satanic lemon for sale!

Looks a bit like a buddah's hand citron: [link]

which is kinda cool and primal because the citron is one of the oldest citrus fruits

Q: Is there any kind of guarantee that the lemon will get along with, or at least not eat, my cat?

A: This lemon is too busy ushering in the Apocalypse, so your cat will be safe. Until, you know, the Apocalypse.

The only food I can think of offhand that I dislike is (are?) beets. And my wife has conclusively proven to me that the nasty flavor can be sufficiently disguised in a chocolate cake, allowing the cook to take great advantage of their inherent moistness.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I thought I was the only person in the world who disliked the prevalence of melon in fruit salad! But I am not. Yay.
