I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.  

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Weirdly, I adore cilantro, but I hate green peppers; I love basil and oregano but don't think paprika has any taste at all.

Huh. I have pretty much the same reactions right across the board. I honestly don't notice the taste of paprika - as far as i'm concerned, it exists to make deviled eggs look pretty.

What is even happening?

I can taste paprika, but only barely. I don't know if I've ever had cilantro. I love green peppers. I use basil, but too much of it gives things a weird, sweet taste (particularly tomato sauces) that I can't abide. I love oregano.

I keep thinking if deb tried the Fernet, she'd have an allergic reaction to one of the herbs.

In the funny baby expressions of all time category: Me giving Mal a sprig of cilantro.

My supertaster DH would agree with deb completely, except that he dislikes the taste of alcohol so much he can't abide champagne either.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That is weird. Well. I think anyone liking cilantro is pretty weird. I realise this means I'm categorising the great majority of the human race as freaks. Sounds about right.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

My supertaster DH would agree with deb completely, except that he dislikes the taste of alcohol so much he can't abide champagne either.

I manage the bubbly because - yes, this will sound as peculiar as it gets - I can taste the fizzles in it, the CO2 or whatever is used to make it fizz up. Add peach nectar and I'm happy.

Beer, to me, smells like weasel pee. Hard booze smells like something I'd clear out a clogged drain with.

Cindy, the green pepper thing? It's weird, because I love roasted red, yellow or orange peppers. It's just the green ones. Gah.

(OT, sort of) BTW, speaking of beer, our homeless friend John sends his thanks. We've been bringing him all the beer left over from the BBQ, since neither of us drink it. He does, though.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I didn't care for the Fernet. I'm sensitive to bitter flavors and that just did me in. Don't like anise flavors at all.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Dude, yeah, the Fernet tasted like ASS. And it definitely *tasted* like it should be flammable, even though Jilli and juliana proved that it isn't.

Me for bourbon. Or beer. Or wine. Just not Fernet.

I kinda liked the Fernet, and I hate ouzo or anise in general. A little dab'll do ya, however.

Finally got photos on Flickr from the F2F. I didn't take many, but here they are: [link]

Awesome pics, Raq!

I love this one even though I look like a midget in it. The hard hat shot--classic!
