Today was the worst food day ever. All day long, I made major mistakes that I knew all along, deep inside that they were just not right. Here's what happened:

1) Last night at Publics, I decided to buy oatmeal. Doesn't sound too bad, right? Nope, it's that bad. The last time I had oatmeal, I kept wanting to put soy sauce in it (yes, very Asian and out of character of me, right?), and that turned out to be a disaster. Plus, I really, really hated the texture, which is the same reason why I decided I didn't like tapioca pudding. However, recently I gave it another chance, and I liked it, so I figured maybe I'll like oatmeal now. So I bought some Quaker Oatmeal. The dude's a Quaker, so he's not going to hurt me, right? Plus it says it has maple and brown sugar. That can't be bad, right? NO. IT WAS BAD...VERY BAD. I had to force myself to eat the whole bowl. And I had this internal conflict about whether I should throw away the last bit or eat it (I ate it). Needless to say, that put me in a bad mood. There's nothing worse than eating something that tastes like ass. My body wanted to throw up every little drop of the nastiness that I forced down, but I resisted. Ehhh...just thinking about it makes me feel queezy....

2) During lunch, I decided to have the cafeteria food. They had nothing that looked appetizing, so I decided to get steamed veggies, which included brussel sprouts. Now, before you go throw up at the mention on brussel sprouts, I'd just like to say that brussel sprouts, when prepared properly, is really good. As you may remember from my Thanksgiving menu, I made brussle sprouts, and it was off the chain. The stuff that I experienced today was not. It was cold, wet, mushy and old. I put it in my mouth, reluctantly chewed and swallowed the rubbery nastiness and didn't eat another one. No, I did not guilt myself into eating the whole thing. I figured I guilted myself into eating something gross that morning. My taste buds didn't deserve all that in one day. Plus I get loads of guilt trips whenever my mother calls, and she called last night.

3) I had Thai tonight. Mmmm...masaman curry...I've been craving it, since that one time in December when I went out for Thai, but the person that I was with didn't want masaman (booo). After the food (which was great), we had dessert - coconut custard with sticky rice. I saw coconut custard and I thought "mmmm...coconut flan..." Well, it was less than impressive. It was made with too much egg, so towards the bottom it started to taste like eggs. And the sticky rice? Ehhh...it was exactly what it sounds like, with coconut milk on top. I've never been a fan of rice desserts, just because rice has always been a savory food. I had a little bit of the stuff tonight and got disgusted pretty quickly. EHHHH...just thinking about it...ehhh...

So yeah. That's what happened. What a bad day with food! I made some really bad choices. Basically, I tried things that I know I don't like, thinking I might like them now, but no. Things have not changed. I'm not going to eat those things ever again.

Oatmeal is DISGUSTING. Two things I hate: oatmeal and shrimp. Achk!
