Probably not in this case. I believe her BF is allergic.

Yeah, my brother is allergic to peanuts, so feeding them to the person who he's sharing fluids with is probably not a great idea.

Hash browns could work. Or maybe I'll veer away from breakfast entirely and make that kale salad my sister likes.

That actually never would have occurred to me. Oops.

When we were in Canada last summer, she used to rush and brush her teeth every time she ate a peanut butter sandwich. It was pretty adorable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's the beauty of brunch, you can include non-breakfast foods. One of the beauties of brunch, I should say. There are many.

Thrive to spite them

I'm not a big breakfast food person, at least breakfast food in the morning. So kale salad for brunch sounds good.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

peanut butter

Almond butter is a great-tasting substitute, if other nuts are not a problem. (Peanuts are not really nuts, right?)

I don't like bitter-tasting vegetables. I haven't found any culinary trick that makes them palatable to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One of my cousins has a gay son. A flaming gay son. She has no idea. She just found out that a gay cousin of ours is engaged--but she didn't know the cousin was gay either. She was all "So where did M meet him?" Power to my sister for only talking about the *1* obvious homosexual right then. But, lord. We're the gayest family in the world. It's the sort of family I don't want to read about in fic because seriously, why would that happen?

Everyone should figure their kids are gay at this point, unless the kid is firmly closing the door to their closet that's carefully lined with naked pictures of the opposite sex.

I've left 5 messages, sent 2 emails, and lo! I have no methadone refill. And now I'm depressed because I understand that I might be financially consigned to these people.

Have they left you hanging like this before, ita?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I don't like bitter-tasting vegetables. I haven't found any culinary trick that makes them palatable to me.

I feel like I have twice as many bitter taste buds as the average person, because bitter foods are so *overwhelmingly* bitter that I can't stand them. Black tea, coffee black (I have to have cream), IPA beer, bitter leafy greens, etc.

However, I love leafy greens like collards or turnip greens with a healthy dash of vinegar -- red wine or balsamic. And brussel sprouts that are roasted or broiled until they start to carmelize are not bitter at all.

No solution for IPA, though.
