i'm not a picky eater by any means. but ever since i was a young kid i've had texture issues with certain foods which eventually created a list of foods that "i didn't like". but really it wasn't ever the flavor of these foods, but the way it felt in my mouth. along with being texturally challenged, i also can't take heat on my food of any sort. now, my pops is a great cook and has invented several great dishes. many of which i've been able to pick around or merely just smell while it's cooking, due to the spicy ingredients.
so this blog is dedicated to my dad:
right now i'm eating pickled jalapenos on my breakfast taco, and quite often i put Tapatio (the equivalent to Tobasco) on my scrambled eggs. and when it comes to salsa i have stepped up to the medium level. so next time i'm visiting i'd love to have some of your hominy casserole, or even your jalapeno corn bread !!
little lucie is not too fond of bananas...gags on mashed bananas - chokes, eyes water, etc! just thought you'd like to know ;)
ReplyDeleteyeah, i still haven't conquered bananas either. i gag just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteha! i cannot take any cold on my food. if i find a way to heat up a salad successfully i will be a happy girl. i've been going to an chinese medicine practitioner in savannah. apparently, i have a lot of internal heat and that is why i crave hot foods and drinks. i wonder what they would say about you.. internal cold "yin"?
ReplyDeletewe've always been opposites, steph. right down to salt and pepper. perfect yin and yang combo. :) miss you.
oh and btw, david and roeland are gluten free now.. big difference in our lives! thanks for all your gluten free recipes...
