Random Chaos

Also El Jay ate my comment the first time, so I'm trying this again.

IMMA SOWWY, IT'S A TEXTURE THING!

Now custards like creme brulee and creme caramel and crema Catalan are things I have no problems with. I love them and am actually in the process of creating a Guilt-Free Vanilla Creme Brulee recipe using fat-free half-and-half and egg substitute. I'm half way there, having adapted a box!brulee to a low-fat status with no discernible difference to the people I tested it on, but the stuff from scratch is hard to do!

But…I can't eat Jello. I can't do it. Not unless I chew it. Otherwise, *GAG* The same goes for mashed potatoes, and any custards that don't have something in them that involves chewing, be it caramelized sugar or cookie bits. Needless to say, I have to avoid those things if eating in public. I'm tired of getting made fun of when I chew a couple times at a pudding before I swallow it.

AAAAAAAAGUH CHOCOLATE COVERED SCORPIONS WHY YOU REMIND ME?

They had those at our local mall recently. I was almost ballsy enough to try one…I was half there before someone informed me that, just before an experimental "NOM," scorpions are arachnids.

I'm allergic to those things.
