uff, dah. You have my sympathies.

[littl3chocobo]

yeah, sadly my motherinlaw loves salt to the point where you can see the stuff sitting in a pile on top. it's gross and even when something is salted it gets salted again for posterity

[Biomecha]

Ah yeah, I can definitely see how one could develop an aversion with something like that. Your sense of taste needs a lifetime to recover.

[Den]

I mean, I like salting my pasta water, and my rice cooking water, but even I know when something is salty enough.

[littl3chocobo]

to be fair though i love the heckin heck out of spice<3 i am the only one i know who keeps tarragon and mustard out along with the pepper and onion XD

[Den]

I would cook with more spices if I was allowed to cook more often and my parents weren't picky eaters.

[littl3chocobo]

are you able to portion out any food for yourself? even if it is just ramen and eggs a couple times a week for lunch it is good to get practice in

[Biomecha]

I used to need everything with some sort of enhancement, but now have gotten used to not using anything to season other than a bit salt. It's actually seemed to help improve my sense of taste with more subtle things.

[littl3chocobo]

that is totally fair too

[Den]

I can cook for myself, but I'm not really allowed to cook stuff for the rest of the family.

[littl3chocobo]

how about for now you cook for yourself? eventually when you are comfortable and have a fair grasp of it the smell might tempt someone into giving your dishes a try ^^

[Den]

Oh, I'm comfortable cooking, it's just I live with picky eaters who bitch about the smell of stuff when I cook, and who refuse to even try things.

[littl3chocobo]

hm, this might not be a productive conversation

[daikokunyo]

cook for yourself and let them bang their own heads about their eats

[Den]

Thing is, Mom doesn't use enough salt, and dad cooks things on too high of heat. and since I really don't like wasting food, it means I don't cook a lot, and I don't eat a lot of what gets cooked at our house, which then makes me feel guilty.

They may be softer than a beanbag, but they are also colder.
