Another New Food

These are the fruits I have eaten my whole life, and I love them:  apples, bananas, and watermelon.  That's it.  I have to say that I have not even tried most other types of fruit.  I don't know why...it's pretty ridiculous.

Well, Wednesday I tried pineapple.  My 3-year old grandson LOVES fruit so I bought him a little device that cuts fruit into shapes.  I think Owen probably likes more healthy food than I do.  

Back to the pineapple...it tasted good.  I'll eat more of it and I won't avoid dishes that have pineapple in them.  At this point, I can't see myself sitting down to a big bowl of pineapple and devouring it like I do with watermelon.

Food Journey - Week 2

I'm 55 years old and I've never eaten a nacho cheese Dorito.  I've just never thought I'd like them, so tonight I tried my first Dorito.  I also tried yogurt.  

 


The Dorito was fine.  The yogurt wasn't as gross as I thought it would be.  I ate a few bites of it, even though it had strawberries in it.

2014 Food Journey - Week 1

Edamame.  Edamame (枝豆?) /ˌɛdəˈmɑːm/ or edamame bean is a preparation of immature soybeans in the pod, found in the cuisine of China, Japan and Hawaii. The pods are boiled or steamed and served with salt.

I've never tried edamame until yesterday, probably because it's green.  

I asked for suggestions from my friends on facebook of foods I should try, and Kim Gunter Oliver suggested I try this exotic veggie.  (It's exotic to me.)

I found some edamame in the frozen food section and popped the box in the microwave and 3 minutes later...to my surprise, I really like it!
