I woke up with a headache today, which is never good. Kind of sleepless from about 5am onward, with too much running through my head:
1) Composing one of my flood-relief fics (with actors doing the parts)
2) Boys' boarding school? Something? There was mischief, and I briefly rode a horse (thanks, White Collar)3) Worrying about what our older cat's

i have a texture issue with flan - it's not solid, but not pudding. it's like jello but... not. i like jello, but i want it to be nice and firm in its wiggle, and flan is just a hair too custardy. and cream of wheat kind of grosses me out because it's grainy. i like oatmeal, so i think it's the texture of the wheat grains vs the texture of oatmeal. (bigger bits are totally fine. :D but hot cereal in itself doesn't bother me, just the particular kind.)

There are a lot of things I hate that are on most people's texture lists:

flan/custard: too "eggy" tasting
cooked pudding: the "skim" layer does not taste good. Like cooked milk or something.
cream of wheat/malt-o-meal: icky taste. Is it the wheat? Ick.
polenta: yuck. Tastes like cornmeal (corn chips & cornbread, yay! cornmeal... no)
risotto: yuck. Tastes like rice.
rice pudding: see above.
tapioca: looks disgusting, taste is not worth the calories.
cheesecake: tastes like cheese, which is not good in a dessert.
avocados: hate the taste, except in guacamole (lemons & garlic FTW!) The basic fruit is kind of... bland.

I do have a hatred of fatty/greasy things. So, I like fried chicken and fried shrimp (but I don't eat them), but I don't want any other kind of meat fried/battered/gravied. German food is like a personal nightmare to me

Dude, the skin is the best part!

On cooked pudding? :0

*shudders*

i forgot avocados! they're too squishy for me, and i'm always kind of wigged out that they don't taste like anything. same with tofu, altho i like the little tofu cubes you get in miso soup. but they taste kind of like soup, so.

but i looooove rice pudding.... and satsumas, yum!

I don't like the taste of tofu much (OR the texture), but it absorbs other flavors well.

Good in curries, AND in those little seared slabs you find in hot&sour soup. Which I lurve.

I've never had miso soup, though I know it's all the rage. Since I don't like sushi, and tempura is caloric, I don't eat at Japanese restaurants at all. I might like miso soup if the opportunity arose!
