May. 23rd, 2003 12:34 amall of the drama sparked by one lj friend's dining question got me to thinking about people and food. why are people's eating habits so important to other people? like it used to make my dad really angry that i didn't like pimentoes or mushrooms. i STILL don't like either thing, although i like pimento cheese, and portobello mushrooms are okay. of course, my dislikes in food created problems with my membership in the clean plate club, but overall i'm not really a picky eater. i don't like eggs except for scrambled. i can't even be near people eating egg salad because i hate the smell.
but anyway, i get irritated with dave because of his picky eating. why does it bother me? i wonder, are there superiority/inferiority issues regarding people's tastes in food?
and then there was the comment made by the new receptionist at my old job: "the longer you go without food, the less often you need to eat....like today, all i've had is a salad and i'm not hungry."
well, that's not how it is with me. when i can't eat (fasting for lent or don't have any food in the house), i start obsessing about food and become hungry much faster. also i get headaches when i don't eat.
i'm guessing that people want their friends to eat the same things they do from some sense of conformity? that you can't be friendly with someone if you can't eat with them? it challenges the status quo? i don't know...
in other events of the day, dave and i had goodbye sex since i'm going out of town. and i believe i got a lower back/sacral adjustment out of it, which was great since my low back has been bothering me.

rikki5050 and i will have our sewing bee sometime next week? i hope you got some sleep and aren't plagued by insomnia! :)
now i should really try to go to sleep soon because i have to get up and drive in the morning. it sure would be nice to have air conditioning and better speakers and a less noisy car...but i love my car and hope it hangs on until i can afford another one...or i hope that i can afford another one when this one dies...sometimes i think about just keeping the one i have and rebuilding it...even though that would be silly and not really worth it.
anyway, time to go do something else.
