hmm, I should take that supertaster test. Pretty sure I'm not one, as I have a preference for bitter over sweet usually (except for beer). I think my bro and sister are supersmellers, if that exists. My sister can use her nose to help her diagnose patients.
She didn't even touch her pumpkin. It's a freak with no face.

huh. I got supertaster. I somehow doubt that, I think I just like food and pay more attention to it than they were expecting. I'm betting I shoulda been a normal taster.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I love olives, cabbage, good beer, coffee.
I can't stand shrimp, crab, salmon, lobster or anything with those flavors.
I've got an ex gf who I thought was ridiculously picky about food. Now I wonder if she's a supertaster and I feel kinda sorry for her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The mitochondrial DNA testing package. It's not cheap, and apparently they're on back order. But I like the very idea of it, even if I don't discover anything new (though I'll die laughing if there's any Asian there) submitting my results to the pool strikes me as a nifty thing to do.

I ordered the testing kit, too! I'm especially interested to see if there's any identifiable Amerind genes floating around in the family tree via my maternal grandfather's family.
In a weird way, it's a gift I can share with my whole family!

What does it say about me that I'm more interested in doing the dog version they came out with recently? Not that this wouldn't be interesting too.

Most of the things on the supertaster list are nos for me (except spinach), but I tested as a normal taster on the BBC test. (Okay, I had one really delicious kale dish once, but I failed miserably when I tried to reporduce it.) I think I am just fussy.
I know she doesn't post here anymore, but Lyra Jane's husband posted in her LJ that Lyra Jane gave birth to a baby girl named Ivy Johanna at 1:45 AM this morning.
