Just because I’m silly and don’t necessarily want to sleep and don’t particularly feel like playing video games or doing anything for work or for Clarissa’s site, etc… I am writing on here.
This post officially inaugurates a new category. Yay food! I like food. A lot. If I could have only one channel on the television, it would be Food TV. After that, it is a toss-up between SciFi, Cartoon Network, and Comedy Central… actually, probably in that order.
I should talk about food. Hrm… what do I eat? Well, mostly, I eat grains (lots of wheat and rice) and vegetables. I get most of my protein from fish or chicken and while I love beef and pork with much cuddly passion, I am trying vaguely to reduce my weekly intake. I generally avoid sweets and don’t eat very much in the way of fresh fruit.
I am a sucker for fruit juices and am particularly fond of citrus flavours to the point where I am probably a walking vitamin C tablet with an ulcer just waiting to happen. I probably drink way too much soda (not much in the way of caffiene, just lots of carbonated sugar water), because even though I like juice better, soda is usually cheaper and easier to get – most places only offer lemonade as a non-carbonated flavour and I have actually been cutting back on the citrus as a result of acid problems that started a few years back.
I like baked goods, especially dairy and fruit flavoured things. I like caramel. I don’t like chocolate. I like pie more than cake (much love for mince and pecan, not so much for pumpkin). I like bread of all shapes and varieties. I like bread that feels like real food – none of this sissy bleached enriched white glue-flavoured garbage that people feed their children. I like whole grains and crusty breads that could break a tooth if you aren’t careful.
At one point in time, I was something of a root beer connoisseur. I could distinguish between about 10 or 12 different flavours by smell alone. Alas, this skill has faded. I can still identify quite a few of them and am still rather picky when it comes to the subject. My favorite brand still remains IBC, and that probably won’t ever change unless something phenominally better comes along.
