Intriguing... Why do you dislike present tense stories and mustard?

This one was really hard for me too.

I know you have explained the mustard thing to me before, but I forgot.

Cuz I sit there I changing it to past tense in my head as I read it. It's fine for lil 100 word drabbles, but anything longer is annoying. There is no sense of immediacy for me; just irritation. And I find it to be extremely poor writing. XD I know it seems to be the "new thing" in writing, but I hate it. To me stories are written in past tense. XD

As for mustard, I HATE the taste of it. XD

I have the same problem when I'm writing it and had no idea it was in style.

Mustard reminds me a lot of hot dogs, which I always hated, even when I ate meat. But I like t on cabbage quite a bit.

I hate yellow mustard. Unless I mix it with ketchup for hot dogs or mayo and ketchup for burgers.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Yeah?


See I like them, but I've always ate them with ketchup. XD That's an interesting combo. XD

I also put it on broiled brussel sprouts tossed in olive oil, with salt, cracked pepper and minced garlic. Super weird I guess? That's how it was served to me when I was a kid. (Maybe that's why I put it on sautéed cabbage?)

Ketchup isn't my thing. The vinager in it is usually white and most ketchup has loads of corn syrup. I feel like I'm ingesting psychotic tomato syrup. Sorry, I guess cooks have a lot to say about food? idk

I don't even like it mixed with other stuff. My granny likes to add it to potato salad when she makes it along with eggs. XD

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Not really; if that's how Mom made it, I can see you liking it as an adult.

I love ketchup. XD A fave thing I used to eat as a kid was elbow macaronis, ketchup, butter, & parm cheese. XD I do the cooking at home & the simpler the meal is to make, the better I like it. XD

The only thing worse then mustard in a tater salad is dill. *shudders* I hate dill.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

I only like dill with salmon. XD

[vexed_wench]

I had an ex that didn't believe how much I hated it and use to try sneak the spice blends with a touch of dill in it. I could still taste it.

[blown-wish.livejournal.com]

Funny you should say that. I use ground mustard when I make mac and cheese casserole XD

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

That wasn't nice! You don't like it, it's okay, & nothing will change that opinion anyways. XD

[vexed_wench]

He really didn't think I would be able to taste in the blend. I am very picky about food.

Aaah... Me too! XD
