I love raw oysters (lemon! horseradish!) but cannot abide tapioca or those bubble drinks, because texture.
Also, oatmeal with fruit and nuts is good, but plain = gruel.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Oh, I guess I should have clarified that I'm good with cooked oysters, but I'm not sure how I'd do with raw. Thanks for the feedback, y'all.

At least if I'm going to be killing time, I can do it in the hot springs.
This sounds like an excellent plan to me.
I hate regular yogurt (greek is thicker and so it's OK), because the texture makes me gaggy, but generally anything that isn't smooth is fine (so pudding no, but rice pudding or tapioca is fine). Not sure why that is.
Tonight I try the cpap for the first time at home. We'll see how long I last.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I apparently have no texture issues anymore. When I was a kid, I hated tapioca, but finally tried bubble tea recently and kind of loved it. I also love oysters. They taste like the sea! Plus other flavors I enjoy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Shrift, If you want, we can get a half dozen oysters tomorrow, and then if you don't like them after the first one , I will take one for the team and eat the rest.

shrift, I highly recommend starting with tiny PNW oysters to start. Very little of that texture issue with Hama Hamas, or my favorite, Yamamotos. Also, dab them with the migonette. East Coast oysters are bigger and more likely to get cause that problem.

So I was surprised last night at how late it was light out, but it's still pitch black out now at 8. North!

Bubble tea is an abomination, and when all of you people sprout tentacles from ingesting the alien spores disguised as a snack, I'm going to say "I TOLD YOU SO". While running away.

not your mom's socks.
What in the world is bubble tea?
Yes I could google it. I haven't, because I've always assumed I knew what my PNW friends were talking about when they used the phrase, and because my very logical assumptions made from the name are obviously so very wrong. What shock would the Internet add.
I, um, have been refreshing goodreads. Even though I shouldn't.

Bubble tea involves neither bubbles nor tea, as far as I can tell. It's some sweet colored drink with little tapioca balls in it. Tapioca balls I cannot even consider eating since my sister pointed out they have the size and consistency of booger nuggets.
