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?

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

(laughing out loud)

touché.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Bring Tom with you to Kenya. That solves one problem.

The whole "veganism will cure all your health problems!" thing really annoys me.

On the other hand, I would have no problem at ALL sticking to an all-Oreo diet.

I wholeheartedly agree that Tom is the best, as if there were ever any question about it.
