Potato Shame

So random fact that I would like to remind everyone of: I have a texture issue.  That means that there is a range of textures that I can't stand, as in they make me sick and gaggish.

Let me list some foods in this texture category that I have become fond of over time:

1. Jello, but it can't have whipped cream in it
2. Shakes, but they have to be super thick
3. Ice cream, before it gets too soft

Here are foods that I won't do unless refusing it would be considered impolite:

1. Pudding
2. Yogurt
3. Cheesecake
4. Applesauce
5. Pie
6. Whipped cream
7. Most frostings
8. Twinkies or anything that has that creme filling (ding dongs, cream puffs, filled donuts, etc.)
9. Yams
10. Cranberry sauce
11. Potatoes, sweet or regular, mashed or whole

Weird? Yes. And I realize that I am missing out on plenty of stuff.  Try growing up with two sisters enjoying ding dongs and you don't get a treat like that because you just can't do the filling inside.  This is why all the rest of the food in the house disappeared so quickly.

But weirder--tonight I craved potatoes.  I mean total craving--I would've shoveled mashed potatoes down my guzzle if I had any, which I don't, because that's just not something I keep in my pantry.  I hate them.  I cannot believe my sudden craving, because in pure honesty, I still don't think I would like the texture even though I want to eat them.

I had fries instead.  Because fries are potatoes, but they are crispy.  At least the fries I make are crisp.
