silly conversation

[firecat]

I have a fondness for gooey sweet red food, such as strawberry and cherry filling and maraschino cherries. The OH occasionally chides me about this. Today I was eating vanilla soft serve with strawberry goo and he started on me. I said, "I like it because I'm a vegetarian vampire."

The conversation continued along a meandering path and wound up at: "Is there such a thing as a goth furry?"

Yes

I'm not getting this... are they red and gooey?

A gentleman I've seen at San Diego Goth clubs wears black vinyl kitty ears and has leopard spots tattooed all down his back.

That'd be triptogn -- met him at the only LJ meetup I've actually managed to attend.

It's a great time of year for that kind of thing, for example hot berry pie with ice cream on top and then more of the brightly-colored pie juice drizzled over the ice cream as well.

As you invited questions recently, I hope it's not too clueless to ask about how diabetes affects this -- if you make the gooey sweet red food with sugar substitutes or just eat a little at a time or what.

I eat a little at a time, and make sure to combine it with foods containing fat and protein.

This would make my home-made cherry cheesecake the perfect food. (-:

I thoroughly agree! *(Adding that to my reasons to visit your neck of the woods.)*

Thanks! It's Jiji from the Miyazake film Kiki's Delivery Service (which I expect you know).

i'll share a secret a south vietnamese friend shared with me - the best cooking tip i ever got:

with every sweet dish a touch of tangy or salty or sour.

with every tangy or salty or sour dish, a touch of sweet.

works every time to "brighten the flavor."

special hint: a good friend swore by cayenne pepper (just a sprinkle, mind you) in his boots in the winter - kept his feet really warm....

i love natural cures - always!
