I want to cook like hammy. ~_~
I think I am given this appreciation as compensation for my lack of musical ear. I cannot distinguish sounds; I do not have "musical memory" except for just a few pieces. I do not recognize music that I have heard many times. It is BAAAD. That bad. But taste and smell, or yes! I remember how mediocre coffee with milk tasted and smelled in my elementary school's cafeteria. And the pungent taste of arugula - oh, to die for.

But 3/4 of American food I cannot eat at all because it is too salty or too spicy for me, or both. So some tastes I will never learn in my life.
