I can eat what I want because I'm a grown-up

hello blog world, or future me, because I'm the only one reading this blog.
I've been thinking lately about food. Maybe it started when Rob said I never put hot things in my mouth, like when he asks me to taste his soup. Then I started thinking about how I only eat 5 things (6 now I eat dates).
So today I was thinking...here is my list...
I like cold food,
I like frozen food
I like to eat things I can hold
I like to eat with my fingers
I like to eat with a fork
I dislike eating with a spoon, although I like cereal
I don't like when the spoon or fork touches my lips (that one sounds really weird)
I like most vegetables, but not many fruits,

green actually, I like almost everything green, and am now trying to eat orange for my eyes.
Fruits
banannas
mango
fresh strawberries, and raspberries
dates (are they a fruit?)
LOVE
noodles and pasta
thinner is better
don't like UDON

I like sugar, and salt
and have learned to like pickles and olives, but they are not
a natural flavour for me. I like creamy not juicy ie smoothies, and I like chewy like hemp and oats, not toffee.

Now imagine how a child could possibly explain that. That they like finger foods, even when they are over finger food age, it might just seem like all they want is chicken nuggets but really they just want something they can pick up.

The other thing. I want to eat the same thing almost everyday. I don't need a lot of variety in my diet, and I like plain rather bland food.

so my food log for yesterday:
2 bananna
4 ish dates
edame
couple frozen snack bars
2 choc chip cookies
6" of baguette
bowl of Kraft dinner and pickles

Today
some snack bar
couple coffees
smoothy with the works
so far.

Glad to get these thoughts down
maybe can start using this as a food log
that's all for today
