'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have no difficulty imagining food tasting that good--it's what moves Pepto sales, after all, and Lactaid, etc.
Oh, I didn't mean food in general. If I developed a shellfish allergy I'd probably take EpiPens with me during Lobsterfest. But avocado is such a mild, non-intense flavor it surprises me anyone would like it enough to go to the effort.
Fuck hurricane fuck fuck.
Yeah, that's where I'm at.
If it helps, Nora, my parents are not particularly concerned. Watchful, but not freaking.
There's definitely a range of reactions happening which confuses me. We'll see what happens at this point- we've been pretty good at being prepared, so I guess it's just a wait and see situation.
It's still a tropical storm, at least.
Dana, where do your folks live?
There's definitely a range of reactions happening which confuses me.
Yeah, that happens. It's hard to predict which way a storm will go, so some people prepare for the worst, and other people prepare for what seems most likely, and other people just go into denial. (From my experience in several NOLA hurricanes, my best advice is to make sure you know how you're going to evacuate if you need to, and don't freak out.)
Lakeview.
Gotcha.
Avocado's got a very luxurious texture. The mouth feel is gorgeous. I'm not good with vegetables (it's fair at this point to tell me it's a fruit, but off point to no particular benefit), but avocado is rich, fatty, and delish. And it grew on a tree! Magic!
I have intolerances to a wide range of foods - some known, some unknown. I just ritually take claritin with me and sometimes take it before because I have itchy mouth, burning mouth, rashes, hives, whatever when I consume too much of some items (including fruit).
I'm not giving up fruit.
