That's a very good point, thank you!! And no, it definitely hasn't put me off from trying again.

I think I felt very lonely in this room full of people. And I think that's different from enjoying being alone. Loneliness on the other hand isn't necessarily enjoyable.

It makes me really sad. Like, I quietly left because I felt really crummy about how alone I felt and not the kind of alone that feels nice.

Like, there is something deeply disheartening about me showing up for the host and then just sitting awkwardly by myself. It's frustrating that we live in a world where the survival strategy is "bring a friend" because no one wants to make a new friend.

This is a weird frustration to have (maybe?) but I love living a fairly solo life. I am better off when I live with people I love, but living solo has allowed me the space to develop a relationship with myself. That said, it sucks when I go to a party solo and literally no one wants to talk to me.

And it's made me realize that old ladies are some of the most amazingly audacious people in the world and they can get away with shit no one else can and that's amazing.

I am remembering an old granny who was well known in my family for giving everyone a raspberry on the cheek cuz she had no teeth to give kisses with. Young and not so young, everyone was subjected to it. I will never forget when my brother gave her a raspberry right back and she laughed in delight.

Unrelated-ish question: does your book touch on ADHD at all? Or like ADHD-related forms of food aversion? I am pretty sure mine aren't all sensory but it's an interesting time trying to navigate my relationship with food!

The way I'm wrapping my brain around what you're saying is: on the outside, it can *look* like "picky eating", but there may be a vast array of reasons behind that blanket term and using this term allows you to serve all of those reasons, which is awesome.

Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books An accessible familyย cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, andย picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

Iโ€™m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, thatโ€™s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. Itโ€™s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

So the full title is COLOR TASTE TEXTURE: Recipes for Picky Eaters, Those with Food Aversion, and Anyone Whoโ€™s Ever Cringed at Food. I know that โ€œpicky eatersโ€ is a loaded term, the sole purpose of it in the title is so it can be found by the most people. Itโ€™s used sparingly within the book itself.

Oh, there's also a buncha newspapers on the table closest to the door so you can grab one and take your seat.

I went back today, I couldn't help myself. The waitress and seemingly proprietor has such a hustle and a voice that's loud in a way I enjoy. She immediately recognized me. I love the "all day breakfast and lunch" and "Chinese specials" and nothing in between. The prices are amazing and I love the

as someone worked for the bbc over a decade ago -- in games + tech -- execs capitulation to right-wing pressure has been a longstanding problem. & though i think the bbc IS biased towards the establishment not towards the left, a public broadcaster is a GOOD THING
