* I was a big thumb sucker as a child
* As you can see this list closely resembles the list of favorite flavors. It may be safe to assume that I am a sub-taster as the role that texture plays in my enjoyment of my favorite foods seems to be equally if not more important.
*I just returned from my first wine tasting excursion to Sonoma County. The list above still stands though I did enjoy the wines very much, still no favorites.
*I may be what is called a Sensualist, though I don't yet have a full understanding of what that means. Can one be a Sensualist in life but escape that label in their writing? Is there any point in making that kind of distinction?
