kyra_ojosverdesYou people aren't doing a very good job of distracting me from studying. Try harder, please.
Tuesday, a co-worker bought me lunch. It included an amazingly good sandwich and a house salad. The salad contained... ominous music here... pears1. PEARS. I was a polite and brave person and I ate the pears. They shocked me by not being nasty and grainy and gag-inducing. Since when do pears have a nice firm non-grainy texture? Were these special not-nasty pears? They were, dare I say it, good. Bizarre.
1. I do have a few food dislikes, and off the top of my head all of them have to do with texture. Applesauce, canned apples/pears, pears, any apple that's past that "nice crisp recently picked" phase, bran cereals that have gone mushy... that grainy, powdery, mealy texture makes me gag. I won't eat apples in public unless I know that the apple has been recently picked or it's a Granny Smith apple. I've had mealy, powdery Granny Smith apples, but it's rare. Red Delicious: no way. If it's given to me and there's no polite way to refuse, I'll "save it for later, thanks so much" and either press it on someone else or toss it and feel horribly guilty for wasting perfectly good food.
ETA: (Damn I'm posting a lot tonight, geez!) If I created a tag and used that tag only for private entries, would people be able to see that tag? Like, would you-the-reader be able to see somewhere a tag called "yourname," click it to see what I'm saying about you, and then be appalled, shocked, horrified that whatever it is I'm saying about you is locked from you?
