"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I don't want to eat soy.

I don't think the current state of the research is compelling enough for you to eat something you don't like.

I don't think there is any one food you can't do without. I suppose if it were a whole nutritional category, that would be different. "I can't stand protein." "I hate fat." "Carbs ugh." But short of taste problems that broad, most people are fine avoiding stuff they hate.

Plus, I suspect really really disliking a food is a sign that it is not good for you. I just wish the reverse were true, that food that you find tasty was automatically healthy for you.

And what do Buffistas think of the generic "you" anyway? Better than the royal "we" or pretentious "one" but maybe still something to avoid?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

No, I dislike all kinds of food that I cognitively know are good for me, like most green vegetables, since they taste seriously bitter.

I don't think "one" is pretentious, depending on how one uses it. t /rim shot

The royal "we" as in "Here is a link to a supervillain lair I'm thinking of buying: what do WE think of it?"

If you mean that, I loathe it with an almost physical revulsion.

Although you should buy the supervillain lair, duh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Salad in mason jars achievement unlocked. And taco meat for tomorrow's pot luck prepared (totally feels like a Community reference). Fennel stalks fed to happy bunnies (they look very contented and pleased with themselves). Bacon in the oven to eventually be incorporated into deviled eggs.

Impressively thoughtful gesture from Mr. Scola. Well done, sir.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't even know if Tom realised how impressed my sister was at his thoughtfulness. She's a bit protective of me, and she also knows my tea fixation (it's the first visit in forever she's not seen me with my own travel mug going international). The idea that you'd just come up with giving me tea...yeah, impressed.

Ugh, she's just asked me (amongst others) if I want to meet her in Turkey in July. Of course I want to, but who goes to Turkey for "a few days"? Maybe the same person who goes to Kenya for a few days, but I am paranoid that the cost is unjustifiable, never mind the amount the few days in NY took out of me.

Also, Tom wouldn't be able to give me tea.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Clearly, corners of the internet don't know that JazzFest trumps anything.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I decided to try making chili from scratch today, instead of using per-seasoned beans. Initial tasting suggests I really overdid the chili powder. All the ingredients are healthy, but I suspect it's gonna take a fair bit of sour cream to make it pallitable.

Tom was very thoughtful.
