Yes, I'll invite you for dinner! Here's the menu: caprese salad, gluten free pasta caccio e Peppe, fruit salad or gluten free tiramisu. Drinks: freshly squeezed lemonade with sparkling water. When can you make it to Germany? I promise good wi-fi and bucolic scenery with deer, sometimes pheasants and foxes.

Supertaster? Nah, I'm just a pain in the ass.

You're a curmudgeonly misanthrope, just like I am!

Yeah, but I’m warm and cuddly.

That's because you're BLESSEDLY NORMAL. Like an actual human.

Evidently it is possible to develop lactose intolerance over time, which happened in a slight degree for me. I found I was consistently feeling ill after drinking my coffee, which always had half-and-half in it. (Not a lot mind you.) So I became a black coffee drinker, and now prefer it that way. I never cared much for milk products other than cheese anyway, and cheese doesn't bother me.

In any event, your list of things you can't abide is basically my list of things I love. Even brussel sprouts, if they're cooked properly and not mushy.

Again, I'm envious and impressed that you can tolerate all the things that put me into orbit. Not in a good way.

More than anyone I know, dearest Laura, you offer more genuine help and sympathy when it comes to feeding me!
