I will tell you about the weekend; don’t worry! I have two college graduates! And it was Mother’s Day this weekend – and Mason was in a play that ran from Thursday to last night – Whew! It was a full one! But today I am joining the Share Our Lives ladies here for this month’s topic…
5 favorite and 5 least favorite foods
If you a regular reader you know that I love and appreciate good food. The older I get the more bougie my food tastes get, I think. But this is also a good thing because I am not willing to waste calories on mediocre food or foods I don’t love. I think had I answered this question even 5 years ago I would have said more sweet things in my first list, but I think I have changed.
Top 5:
- Potatoes
- Good bread – bad bread doesn’t tempt me. I won’t touch a bread basket if I am in danger of losing a tooth.
- Cheese
- Eggs in most any form, but I don’t want a runny yolk
- Good salads and mediterranean are one of my favorites. I like all salads, though. Just don’t put nuts or pine nuts in it. I like salads that involve most all vegetables and fruit combos, too, like spinach and mandarin oranges. I love vegetables both cooked and raw.
Bottom 5:
- Nuts! I have never liked nuts. Put nuts in your baked goods and then I will not touch them. I do love peanuts and pistachios. I hate pine nuts, too.
2. lima beans and peas – nope! I taught my sisters how to pretend to eat your peas but actually put them in your napkin.
3. Lamb, duck, scallops – I don’t know. Just don’t like them. Oh, or squid or octopus. Yes, I have tried them. Not a fan. I could honestly do without lots of the meat family.
4. Green peppers – too harsh. I don’t really like red or yellow, either, but they seem more palatable.
5. Olives – neither color appeal to me. Green are too briny and black have no taste but bad texture. I do like dill pickles, though, so you would think I would like green olives. I don’t like capers, either.
I couldn’t even make myself find pictures of the things I hate.
That was fun! Do you agree or disagree with me on any of these foods?
