sqbr: pretty purple pi (default icon)
Saturday, December 20th, 2008 06:36 am
Woke up with random anxiety insomnia last night/this morning, so decided to kill time reading fanfic. Searching for lj coms with a "femslash" interest I came across [livejournal.com profile] genficfinder. "That's odd, I thought, femslash /= gen". And then I noticed their default icon said "It's all about sex baby".

Note to [livejournal.com profile] genficfinder: you keep using these words "gen fic" and "all fandoms", I do not think they mean what you think they mean, ie slash from "Anything from Panic! At The Disco to Slayer!" (I'll admit, there may also be some femslash in there somewhere, I didn't look very hard)

On the plus side, it just occured to me to search for "femslash + recs" at delicious. Huzzah!

I was going to say "But of course now it's 7am and Cam will be getting up so I can talk to him", but then remembered it's a Saturday, so I have hours to kill till then :D

Updated version

I thought about doing a poll (and may later) but people are so complicated decided it was easier just to ask. Partly out of curiousity, partly because having such extreme restrictions myself has made me want to be aware of other people's issues and cater to them where possible.

So: what can't you eat? I'm including moral choices and extreme taste preferences (ie you can't stand chili), but not anything where you'd rather not eat it but can put up with it if you have to, the operative word is can't.

So, mine:
I've gone back onto gluten (THANK GOD) but am otherwise being quite picky. So this is just where I'm at for now.

dairy eg milk, cheese, butter
coconut
soy protein or tofu, soy sauce and miso are ok
chili, paprika, red capsicum
alcohol
cocoa or cocoa butter, tea/coffee
artificial sweetners
too much acid (egfruits like plums and citrus, most fruit juices, salad dressing, preserved veggies and pickles, soft drink, vinegar)
spring onions/leek/watercress/chives
peppermint
too much fat (ie deepfried stuff)
mustard
kidney beans
raw apple/pear
most raw or undercooked vegetables except cucumber or lettuce
pine nuts
asparagus
xanthum gum or guar gum

Also some artificial chemicals disagree with me but apart from artificial sweetners I haven't been able to pin down which exactly, so I just avoid overly processed foods. Gluten free flour mixes are definitely all bad, I think it may be the xanthum gum.

The usual disclaimers apply.
