I'm fickle and this list will never be current. My musical taste is
recorded in all its schizophrenic, info-tastic glory
here.
(d) Food
All foodstuffs, tea, toast, and coffee. I'll try most things once,
because I firmly believe in being adventurous; the stranger it is,
the more I want to try it. I mainly eat Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai,
"New" American (high-brow and yuppified), and German.
My coffee is always black and I'll take my tea with milk depending
on my mood. I'm perfectly happy at either a hole-in-the-wall place
or a fancy, snooty restaurant; I just like good food and am always
on the prowl for somewhere new to try.
