Good news. I managed to eat some pasta with cheese out of the oven today. Granted - it was more cream and salt and veggies than pasta, and it was a tiny portion and it grew stone cold before I was finished, but I did eat it. A year ago, I'd have called this sort of food something valuable and lost from the past.

With food, it's weird at the moment. Basically, I have my mental list of about half a dozen things that I can eat.

Every once in a while, a thought happens in my mind that something was yummy a long time ago / that something might just work now, perhaps.

Then I think about it for a week or longer, sometimes walking past it in the store, looking at it. Mostly deciding that it won't work or will be disgusting anyway.

After these long ponderings, I may acquire this object a while later anyway; prepare it how I have thought about how it may work now (for instance: buns with cheese are a no-no, but if I soften up the bun with milk and mix it up with an egg and fry it, I can somewhat have a bun with cheese), and at the moment, I experience the surprise that it works indeed quite a few times.

Of course, with disappointments. Chips (that's crisps for the UK people) taste like cardboard paper. The formerly yummy bun with tomatoes+mozzarella from the bakery required a lot of oil and a frying pan and tasted like meh anyway. There are insane amounts of salt and pepper and oil that have to be added into everything.


Oh yeah, and "sweet" is still gone out of my life. A neighbour gave me a chocolate easter egg today. :( I don't know what to do with that one. Rubbish bin or give it to someone else, I guess.
