'Never Leave Me'
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 think the only pain I've had that was close to a 9 was my last mammogram. That almost made me pass out. But was over super quick so I don't think it counts much. I've been very lucky.
le n, whenever I hear about The Fasting Diet I always think "I could totally do that." But then I haven't actually gone on to try it so, ime, it's not a very effective diet! I don't think I know anyone who's tried it.
I just put a zucchini bread in the oven, along with tomatoes and onions to roast. That wasn't a mistake, was it? Will my bread taste like onions now?
LeN, the real egg answer is that you're late to the reality where they taste disgusting.
This was my thought. Sometimes I'll try something like quiche, and I'll be fine until I get a bite that's just egg.
I did some fasting a few years ago, I don't know if it's the same as the Fasting Diet. Can't say it was very effective in any way.
le nubian, I have intermittent egg revulsion that I attribute to being inversely proportional to the freshness of the eggs, based on nothing but the fact that really fresh eggs I cook myself never make me feel ill.
ETA: although perhaps I should caveat that me being able to eat eggs at all is a relatively recent development and I totally do not understand the mechanism whereby I went from "the smell of cooking eggs gives me a headache, forget eating them, no, not even French Vanilla ice cream" to "an omelet for breakfast every day of the week is A-OK" so I am probably a poor exemplar of the effects of eggs on humans.
I *love* hardboiled and scrambled eggs. Especially when I cook them myself. I wonder if there is something to the Zenkitty powdered egg thing.
I also wonder if there is a random seasoning that I don't like that makes me want to give up the ghost. For example, some curries are nearly the death of me.
I can deal with omelets--with ham and cheese--and sometimes scrambled, but non mixed-up eggs are not done. It's the texture, for me.
I did some fasting a few years ago, I don't know if it's the same as the Fasting Diet.
On the Fasting Diet you eat a normal, healthy diet 5 days a week (like a Mediterranean-type diet) and then 2 days a week you severely restrict your calories.
eta: here was the NPR story from this week:
No, wait, deviled eggs and egg salad is divine.
I like omelets if there's hot sauce in the eggs. Fucking ruined some other people's breakfasts, though. Never gave it a thought.
Oh, that's nothing like what I did.
