Mixing Random Foods

I don't have much experience with computers. I finally got my first cellphone around 25 years of age. We had a freestanding computer at one point prior to that, but it wasn't connected to the Internet. I've been told that I have the brains for IT jobs, but it seems intimidating after being so far behind. Also, doesn't it get dreadfully boring?
Not to me at least, and the courses I take are quite comprehensive.
 
Does anyone else relate to this? When I am eating, my wide reaching seemingly perpetual curiousity tends to get the best of me. I want to find out what the various food or drink items are like combined. Even if I expect it to taste nasty, I still like to try the combination once to find out for certain what the flavor combo is like. Sometimes I actually get surprised and find something yummy. There is a very wide range of foods and drinks that I will sample together and occasionally make a point to attempt to combine all potential combinations in a meal at least once. I'll even try the desert with the meal if it is already on the table (eg. a bite of green beans with a bite of pumpkin pie or a swallow of my tea with a bite of my ice cream).

I thought I was the only one who did this so I never talked about it. I mixed heat oatmeal with strawberry yoghurt. I liked it a lot. I also put canned salmon with oatmeal, pretty good but weird.

One of the stranger things might be spaghetti noodles with strawberry yoghurt. I liked that a lot too. The textures were good for me. I like starchy and gooey.

I used to eat canned smoked sardines with rice and eggplant. That was very good. The smoked flavors and oils would soak into the rice. the starch from the eggplant made everything sticky and gooey. Sorry for talking about that for people who are upset by those textures, they are my favorite.

I tried canned vegetable soup with oatmeal, it was awful. I eat breakfast cereal with protein powder made into a shake with water and I think it is very good. I cannot drink milk so it is like milk for me.

Smoked sardines and oatmeal was pretty good, not good like rice though.

The It I have done has been fascinating. It changes a lot, new problems to solve, puzzles to solve. Also always learning how to do it better. I was very excited years ago when I figured out a trick with Google. This was 1995 so everything was new. HTML just became available. I found out that Google used webcrawlers and they captured the first text they read on an HTML page. So I put the information I wanted Google to tell people about our website printed at the top of the web page but in the same color as the background. No one ever knew it was there but the webcrawler read it perfectly.
