elvenpirateladyThere is a time in every person's life when you try a food that people have been ranting about since the dinosaurs were still in town, and decide that hell, you like it, and join in the ranting about its awesomeness to the dwindling population of that-food virgins, who begin to back away.
Such a thing happened to me a while ago, and the food was celery and peanut butter. All right, it's an old fad, but I'd heard people on diets talk about it like it was the new sliced bread*. I didn't ease into it. I jumped in head first and adored it. There are two reasons for this: one; that in my house celery is rare but peanut butter is plentiful, so there was a certain time constraint, and two; that it is delicious. Celery is fairly tasteless on its own, and anyone who's tried to eat peanut butter straight** will tell you how rich it is. Together, however, they are the bread/butter of the food world.
And today, for similar reasons re: curiousity about food combinations, I ate peanut butter and a chocolate-chip biscuit together.
First thought: Um, that's not how they usually taste-
Second thought: OH. MY. GOD.
Third thought: Argh, too rich! Celery, stat!
Verdict: certainly tasty, but god, so rich. Both peanut butter and mushed biscuits are thick enough on their own, but this is serious density. Should not be eaten without celery or a drink on standby.
*And imagine what the reaction would have been like when sliced bread first arrived. Instant foodgasms!
**I'm not saying anything, except that I was young and stupid.

And that is a long-winded way of saying that I didn't do much today except finish Brilliance of the Moon, which I won't discuss now because the entire Otori trilogy deserves its own post.
