potato(e) salad, continued  

Posted

maria wrote me an email in response to my retort of her comment. here is my counter to the response to the retort. follow that? her lines have a < next to them.

> theres only one thing that i physically cant eat and
> its hard boiled
> egg....ugh.

Already i'm perplexed. I've seen you eat sandwiches
at school with egg on them (i think). I know you eat
omlettes (some weird version made your last meal
list). Is a hard boiled egg really THAT different
than a normally cooked egg? fine, they might not be
identical, but i can't imagine hating one and loving
the other (then again, the real maria hates uncooked
cheese but LOVES melted cheese). Regardless, even
though your first sentence has me thrown off, it's not
that out there...

well, never ever in a million years would i ever even
consider meeting a person who was disgusted by the
white part but who liked the yolk. Impossible. The
white is "plain" while the yellow part has a weird
gritty texture and is dry and smells. And, you have
to know it's the unhealthy party, so pyschologically
you shouldn't like it. and yet this is the part you
could tolerate? I DARE you to find someone who agrees
with you.

did you spell potato that way just to be a dick? If
so, well played, mr quayle, well played. #.

here's where i tip my cap to you. as i was reading, i
was all ready to throw a response to you with respects
to yoru phobia. I spent a bunch of time on that
website and people's stories were so funny about
avoiding any food that might cause trouble or
constantly checking the milk date. The way you were
able to tie past conversations into this email makes
me suspect that you might actually be paying
attention.

you have the heart of a champion. Even though i have
nothing to do with it, i almost feel "proud" that
you'd still give it a shot. You really are the
ironman.

> btw: egg salad has too much egg...

that's what i was trying to get at in my post. egg
salad does have too much egg. there's no better way to
say it. that's why you have to put it on toast or
something instead of being able to eat it plain.

celery litterally pisses me off. if it's possible to
hate a vegtable, then consider it a full fledged feud.
It ruins otherwise good dishes. If i wanted crunch,
i'd have crunch. Slight crunches in an otherwise
smooth dish. It's the same reason i HATE mm's or nuts
in my ice cream. It ruins the "flow" of the meal.

the visual of you being disgusted during your last
meal makes me want to frame you for murder.

>...blech....

now, you in glasses has to take a back seat to you
using the word blech. YOU being disgusted and bitter
is just ridiculous.

i concur.
