I've never been picky in my life until now, so it's kind of a weird thing for me to be SO picky. But I am. Anything remotely spicy is agonizing. Even tomato sauce is too much. Anything really sweet or salty is overwhelming and makes my mouth burn.

I was eating mashed potatoes and grits for about six months, and then got to where I could eat rice if I mixed it with water, refried beans, and a special homemade salsa with NO added spices, combined with sour cream to take away the acid of the tomatoes. One of my problems is that I'm not a good cook (never have been) so when I find something I like, I stick with it for EVERY meal and burn out on it. Can't eat any of those things I listed any more without gagging because I ate them SO much.

Right now I primarily eat alfredo (has to be a certain kind--not all preparations work; I really like the Zatarain's frozen ones even though they taste kinda spicy to me, and this one kind a restaurant in a nearby city makes), and Cheez-Its (I can chew them with water and sort of...let them melt in my mouth, if that makes sense). Oh, and lots of ice cream, haha. No meat at all--I wasn't a big meat eater before and now the taste/smell throws me off, as well as having trouble getting it down without choking. Bleh.

Gonna try to work in some spinach, though. I used to really like it and it's pretty soft. Thank you for the tips!
