I have no idea why I suddenly thought of this

When I was a little girl, I used to take all of the marshmallow shapes out of my Lucky Charms and pile them up in order, pink then yellow then green then orange, and squish them together into a stack of compressed sugar, as tall a pile as I could crush between my small fingers without it toppling over. I'd eat it, then I'd pour milk over the plain cereal and eat that.

I was kind of an obsessive kid, really.

I STILL eat Lucky Charms in this fashion:

1. Use spoon to herd all plain cereal to one part of bowl.


2. Eat plain cereal.


3. Play with pretty coloured sugary goodness.


4. Eventually, eat marshmallows.

Augh. You made me remember that I used to enjoy the few times that my parents would buy Wonder bread, simply for the fact that I could tear off a piece of bread, smush it really flat, and pretend it was a Communion wafer I was giving myself.

...

Catholicism really warps people sometimes. I'm glad I'm in recovery.

I never did the Communion wafer thing, but I had a period where I'd take a stack of maybe 8-10 slices of cheap white bread, microwave them for 30 seconds and just eat them as is.

I like to think my culinary (and dietary) tastes have improved markedly since then. :)

Mmm. Warm, floppy industrial-white bread. You and I are closer than you'd like to think. :>
I did all kinds of obsessive stuff with food too, and to some extent still do. M&M-type products, for example, would be segregated by color into homogeneous clusters (shades of apartheid), and the colors I didn't like would be eaten first. Blue or brown were usually last.

Um... except I haven't done this in ages. :P And how long has it been since Shrimp Oatmeal?

Blue or brown were usually last.

Wow. What happened? The blues staged a revolt and injected mass quantities of Blue No. 5 directly into your spinal column?

By chance did you try to ship me some salsa a while ago? I got an odd notice- and a scrap of moldy labeling- from the Post Office about a destroyed, smelly, messy, undeliverable package. Should I be dissappointed that your salsa jars got broken--or should I be paranoid and worried about who else is sending me what? :) --heather

Sigh. Yes, I sent you four jars of salsa, was just about to ask you about that. I've never had breakage when I've shipped it before! Next con we are both at, I'll hand deliver you some.

Sigh. Pout. Thanks for the attempt; it was nice of you.
