I am proof that people can change

I used to not eat cauliflower.

Actually, I used to not eat any vegetables. My mom even took me to the doctor when I was a kid, fretting because I wouldn't eat vegetables. He said "She'll outgrow it." And obviously, what with that vegetarian flirtation, I have outgrown it. (I do remember mom commenting on that a few years ago when she saw me order a portabello sandwich instead of a burger.)

Cauliflower, though, I couldn't stand. But it kept showing up in things, especially Indian food, and finally I decided that if I was going to be a vegetarian, I was limiting my diet enough without excluding particular vegetables.* So I kept eating cauliflower in spite of not liking it, and now it isn't my favorite vegetable on the planet, but it's ok. Some ways, I actually enjoy it.

Yogurt. I never liked yogurt, either, but I do like probiotics. And calcium. I started eating a carton of yogurt a day, and after a few months, I found I didn't mind it so much.

And booze. How many people actually like the sting of alcohol when they first try it?

That's a joke. I have always liked alcohol. My uncle used to dip my pacifier in whisky.

So I decided, I need to apply this ability to overcome dislikes to tea.

Not because it's healthy, but because at work, coffee is 25 cents a cup, but tea, inexplicably, is free.

*I think I only lasted about two months as an actual vegetarian. I'm just not committed enough to work around other people, really.

I'm here because this Walrus told me to be here. No, because I was trying to gather all the items in this saddest of all sad stories for my 17yrold's son stocking this yr who moved away from me in July. This is his favorite poem/story even with the shed a tear ending. poor babies. so, you of the "I don't really like yogurt" persuasion..neither did I until I tried..oops, can we use name brands here? I'll give it a try. no, I'll hint. sounds like..YO...play ! round pyramid tubs. It's actually really OK. that's all I wanted to say. and..there are things you can do to cauli. to help the taste.(but I don't know what.) I DO like it alone and think tastes like broccoli.
there ya have it. wise words of the day.

These include terrific eyeglasses! I bought the exact same set of two gascans for six a number of years. The sole rationale I am changing them now's that we shed them.
