Thank you for your continuous contributions to the fandom!

Aw! Thank you, that’s very kind of you, but I fear would be wildly expensive for you in terms of shipping, especially given if I’m not sure I’d even be able to eat any of it.

My body develops random and new allergies pretty much on a whim based on what feels like planetary alignments some days. It’s part of a massive immune system meltdown that so far looks most likely to be MCAS but I’m struggling to get a confirmed diagnosis. It basically makes trying a lot of new foods (and even some old ones) into a dangerous game of Russian Roulette, so unfortunately I’m limited in what I can try, and need to try and keep my possible triggers to an absolute minimum or risk complications that can range from mild discomfort to outright anaphylaxis. It’s a pain in the absolute ass but it is what it is.

And that’s the episode split!

I realize it may have come off as me disliking the episode, but Yuichi is just specifically an affront to my sensibilities.  The show’s still good, I’m still enjoying it, and I’m very much looking forward to continuing and seeing what the deal is.

But whooooof.  Who’d have thought baring one of your most haunting fears to an audience of thousands would be so stressful? :P

The beach is so much fun.  I so rarely get to go--in Maine, even the summer waters are pretty cold, but the tide pools that get uncovered every time it goes out are amazing.  I got to spend a few hours on a beach down in Trinidad during my visit, but I got warned not to go out any deeper than my chest by a very exasperated @mopomoko so that I didn’t get in danger.

I actually had Korean barbecue when I went to Trinidad!  It was terrifying!  A whole bunch of different kinds of food, sauces, and materials that I was supposed to combine into one big unknown texture?  I was legit shaking by the time I left the restaurant, but it was a great time and I got to spend it with my partner, so I’m glad I went.

It was NOT what I was expecting, though--when I described hibachi to them before the visit, they said that there was a Korean barbecue place they liked that was similar.  I was expecting a big grill and a cook as a result, but it was a tiny table with a tiny grill device that you put tiny servings of meat on.
