Also, a door is a door, except when it's ajar.

I don't mind washing lots and lots of dishes! I enjoy it!

Me? The King of Neurotics? If a kernel of corn even touched the steak, or the neighboring potato, or the potato brushed shoulders with the steak, or they even kissed each other, I'd have to go to the medicine cabinet for some anti-anxiety medication!

I make damn sure that disaster never happens. The corn on one plate, steak on another, biscuit on another, potato on another, rice on yet another! Never does my gravy even come in contact with a kernel of corn!

My roommate? Close my eyes, close my eyes!!!

I'm so glad to find others like me! We need some kind of anonymous support group for those of us whose food can't touch!

We're not alone! Solidarity, brothers and sisters!

I very rarely mix my food, although I'll fork up two different things at once.

When I moved here (Northwest) I noticed that many people literally mixed their over-easy eggs and hashbrowns together, which still looks kinda' gross to me.

I think My dad ruined it for me. Weekend breakfast might be eggs, sausage grits, maybe biscuits. My dad would combine the eggs, sausage and grits with ketchup. It was a horribly unappetizing mix of gloppy pink. So grossed out!

Yeah, I've found that it's best not to mix in the ketchup or soy sauce too much, but squirt it on top and keep it there.

I picked a propylene torch just the other week so I may be able to contribute a recipe or two.

Propylene? I hope you mean propane ..... a propylene torch would sure be interesting. I think it might turn food into plastic. Maybe that's what happened at McDonalds ..... a small mistake in the cooking fuel and they got food that never biodegrades: McDonald?s Happy Meal Never Goes Bad, Nutritionist Proves - Softpedia

Propylene?

Yeah, that. Think that it's overkill for creme brulee?

Yum. Dunno, I never made creme brulee, I just eat it (actually only ate it once long ago).

Searing meats, see?

ETA: well I guess I was wrong, there ARE propylene torches according to good ol' Google. I was just thinking of one of those cheap propane torches that runs off a one pound cylinder.
