" Oh, no, oh, no!! Hahaha... I DO think this at times but try not to be so harsh if I really like the people otherwise. ;) A couple of weeks ago I went to this Italian restaurant based on a glowing recommedation from a friend of mine. Well, her utter Irishness AND the fact that this was a chain restaurant should have been my cue to steer clear. This was by far THE WORST "Italian" food I've ever eaten in my life.  I tried to be polite. When she asked what I thought I smiled and said, "Well, uhh, you know that I come from a family where if the sauce wasn't cooked with a specific brand of tomatoes from a specific specialty store in Brooklyn, my grandma would have a kinyption (sp) fit... right? So... my critique of such food is kind of on an entirely different plane... ;)" (The truth is, in my own life I couldn't care less where the tomatoes came from as long as they taste good. I was just trying to lend a perspective.) So anyway, getting around to my point. Your remark about people who need recipes made me laugh... BECAUSE, at that very night at this wretched excuse for an Italian restaurant, my one friend was trying to tell the other friend how to cook zucchini "Italian style." She was listing her ingredients... tomato sauce, onions...  And the friend was really trying hard to process the information, like "Okay... so you said onions... and then what?" And I'm thinking, should I tell her to add some garlic? Would that be too confusing?? And in my head I'm like DAMN, not only am I stuck eating in the worst Italian retaurant ever, but now I can't even have a decent "food conversation" because no one here would know what the FUCK I was saying! Zucchini! Oil! Garlic! Onion, if you want! Fry it up in a goddamned pan. Sprinkle some salt and pepper! Taste it, does it taste good? If not, add something else. Maybe some parmesan, if you're feeling crazy.  Damn. Sometimes I really feel like I'm on another planet. I think I'm getting a little overly intense today, PMS may be a factor, so sorry about this if it's coming across in my posts.

I also get into habits where i'll eat the same thing over and over until i get sick of it, like clockwork. some of these have been artificial crab meat (wut?), canned spinach, fontinella cheese, rice cakes, chow mein noodles, soy nuts... i'm just gonna stop now.

I loooooooooove food period.  All kinds.  I have a problem with boredom and binging.  I remember one day the kids were at school and I was at home with NOTHING to do that day (rare!) and I just kept on going back and forth from the pantry to the couch.  I even felt a little shaky (too much sugar?)??  I thought man.....this is a serious low point when it comes to food.  I mean literally, for like 6 hours....binge snacking....I wasn't even hungry...just bored.  Never again. I love eating with others whether it's going out to eat, eating here at my house, at theirs....or whatever.  I just like the togetherness of dining.  Cappy moon second house. dina2 on "The Moon & Food" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/the-moon-038-food#post-15331 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 22:16:32 +0000 dina2 15331@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/   Moon Scorpio here. I adore food and eating and will try anything once. Love cooking for a crowd. Meals with a lot of ZIPPP! appeal to me the most, I think. I cook with a heavy spice hand and toss things in there with wild abandon. I almost never measure. My "method" of following recipes is to Google the ingredients, find one that sounds interesting and then put my own spin on it. Whatever I have around goes into the cauldron. I like to dissect a good meal that somebody else made and try to figure out what's in it. "Mmm... coriander? Sage?" Well, really though, my mood dictates what I eat.  Zara on "The Moon & Food" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/the-moon-038-food#post-15283 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 11:02:42 +0000 Zara 15283@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ i have a cancer moon in the ninth house and i love trying all sorts of exotic cuisine world over. downtomars on "The Moon & Food" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/the-moon-038-food#post-10595 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 20:32:37 +0000 downtomars 10595@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ My Moon is in Libra in the 9th house. I do like exotic foods and sweets and I tend to overindulge in the latter at times (Moon square Venus 6th/7th cusp). Good thing I don't mind working it off (Moon trine Mars in the 5th), if I absolutely have to (Mars in Gemini).

It's the idea of food and what it brings up.  I like banchan too, Jessica.  What do you mean you don't eat?
