So I cook a lot and a while back I was planning a tea party and got tired of constantly texting my friends like ‘do you remember if anyone dislikes cantaloupe? Will cantaloupe work???’ 

so I had us spend a couple hours creating and filling out an online spreadsheet of our food preferences. I made colored dropdown answers and floating label bars and it was pretty slick

and it ended up that all five of us were online and filling out the chart at the same time and things

got a bit

out of hand

In conclusion my friends are nerds and I love them.

if your “healthy diet” that “everyone should try”

• ignores people with food allergies
  
• ignores people with food intolerances or necessary dietary restrictions
• ignores people with limited money, means of travel, or access to food

then it’s not universally healthy and it’s not for everyone

I’m hungry. I think someone should cook me something so that I can judge/eat it. Open your baskets! Your mystery ingredients are dough, tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. You must incorporate all mystery ingredients IN MY DAMN PIZZA. ya you heard me, I’d like a pizza, por favor

So what I’m going to do is make a deconstructed pizza, with a kind of tomato-cheese soup served with pepperoni bread sticks.

AND YOU ARE CHOPPED YOU ARE SO SO CHOPPED GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN (but I’ll keep the bread sticks) 

My family doesn’t do a lot of “Italian” food, so I’m putting a sort of whimsical childhood twist on the dish. I’m going to stuff the sausage with the cheese, and then cover the whole thing in a cornmeal dough before I deep fry it. I’m going to serve it with a tomato, vinegar, and sugar reduction to really bring out the umami of the dish. I will plate my dish by impaling the sausage on a stick and drizzling the tomato reduction over it.

Stahp, please :( You’re killing it :(((

You like corndogs tho. I know you do. You can’t hide your shame from me.

I’ve lost my appetite and I’m laying on the floor behind the judge’s table crying 

Time’s up and I look at my competitors’ dishes and I realize I forgot the dough… How am I going to present this to the judge?
“Hello, today I’ve prepared for you a glueten-free, Atkins style pizza.”

I could forgive the no dough, but what I cannot forgive is this irrelevant side salad made only of raw cabbage drenched in truffle oil

honestly there needs to be more awareness and support for disordered eating that’s not just about body image

shout out to people with spoilage or contamination phobias. to people with very specific food rituals that can’t be disturbed. to people with sensory processing issues that can’t deal with certain textures or flavors. to people that can’t eat food they didn’t see prepared. to people whose foods can’t touch one another because it makes all the alarms in their brain go off. to people whose severe anxiety is reduced to them being “picky eaters”.

your problems are valid; sometime’s it’s not as easy as “just try it”; it’s not rude to refuse food you don’t think you can eat; your diet is no one’s business but yours and your doctors’
