Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
~ma to your mom, Callaluna.
Why didn't any one tell me how much I would love basil in stir fry?
I should have, basil dishes are my favorites at Thai restaurants. Though really, if it's good Thai almost everything will be tasty. The only caveat is to work your way up the hotness scale, because Thai cooks do not play around with the spices when someone orders "hot."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Much medical-ma for your mother, Callaluna.
I'm still fighting this cold, but I can't lounge around in pjs all day, since I foolishly arranged to have cleaners come. Which means I have to straighten the house, argh.
But first, walk the dog, who really wants to run and play but keeps falling down. Her hips are degrading really rapidly.

If I only had a brain...
All the ~ma for your mother, Callaluna.
I found that my kids started out happy to eat anything, got insanely picky (Annie's Shells to the rescue!) and slowly got better during adolescence. Insisting on "just one bite" did sometimes, slowly, convert a food from anathema into a favorite. There was a while when my daughter ate only vegetables with an a: artichokes, asparagus, avocado. As adults, they're both the sort of person who will order chicken gizzards once because, what the hell, they might be delicious.
tl;dr: My kids weren't perfect foodie kids, but they grew out of it.

Much ease to your ma, Callaluna.
Consuela, I have great sympathy for your pooch's caboose. May the frolicking still be fun for her!

Am catching up after a too-busy weekend, with a serious interview to go to this afternoon. JZ, somehow I missed the details of you having to move!!! Where to, and all that?
I nearly lost it when my iTunes played "Yoshimi Versus The Pink Robots" because it really reminded me of ita being so brave with her health woes.
I also had to refrain from whapping a Very Definitely Hypochondriac friend when she was going on about how she thinks she has post-concussion syndrome (from an accident three years ago, that she only just discovered symptoms of), because sheesh-Louise, it could be SO Much More Awful, you twit.

Neither of my kids are food kids. Grace is eating more by mouth so trying to find tasty manageable foods for her is a challenge. And we definitely cater to her, more by texture than flavor, though. Yesterday we made a sweet potato pudding thing which she likes.
