This morning at breakfast, Steven and I decided to have cold cereal. Usually we (usually he) make(s) something, but we were in a hurry so cold cereal it was. We had some Honey Bunches of Oats with Pecans. Now wait a minute. How did you just say that last word? Steven this morning said, "How do you like it with pecans?" To clarify pee-CANS (like can you open this can). I replied with a very straight face, "You say that like a northerner; my family laughs at people like you."

HAHA Ok, so I thought I was pretty dang clever and funny at this point, and Steven laughs mostly because I said it so seriously (most likely because it is true.....) Am I right or am I right though? "pee-can" and/or "pe-can" sounds funny, although it does make more sense than "pe-con."

So, we continue breakfast and...
Steven: Do you want "so and so" leftovers for lunch.
Me: No, I don't really like it.
Steven: Picky, picky, picky. My family laughs at people like you.

hahaha And so true! I'm probably like almost to, or at, the point of ridiculous in his family's eyes (even if I have made leaps and bounds in improving).


Speaking of which, i have tried many things in the past couple of years that I still am not fond of:
Seafood (I've tried: king crab leg, lobster, calamari, fish (don't remember which kind), etc.)
Mushrooms
Textured things like pudding, jello, whip cream, etc.


But now I do like:
Onions
Soups (for the most part)
Pies (although not all)
and a lot more things I still can't remember because they are now a part of my normal diet :)
