Here's another Fun Fact About Tony:
For years, I've been convinced I don't like crunchy peanut butter. I shunned away from it. I didn't want anything to do with it. Creamy peanut butter for me, please!
And while I was editing Fall in Their Place, I discovered...Well, I found out the truth. It seems a decade back, I decided crunchy peanut butter was bad on bagels. And apparently that was enough to drive me away for...a decade. A whole decade. And during the course of that decade, I became convinced I didn't like it at all.
So that's how these things can sometimes happen, I guess. Sometimes you can plum forget the original reason you turned away from something, and eventually draw completely different conclusions.
Yeah.
Oh, and by the way, I bought a jar of crunchy peanut butter recently. Have been making sandwiches with it for the past week. And it's been perfectly fine. Of course.
When I was a kid I wouldn't touch zucchini or yellow squash but now I can eat them, though usually if they're part of some dish like pasta sauce or on a pizza.
ReplyDeleteMashed potatoes I've never liked but as I lose more teeth it sometimes becomes necessary to eat mashed potatoes instead of French fries or potato wedges. So now I get mashed potatoes at KFC and just gulp them down before my gag reflex can kick in.
I couldn't stand bananas when I was a kid. Now I eat them no problem.
DeleteWelcome to a strange new world. lol.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
DeleteWeird how that happens, isn't it? I have always thought I hated peanut butter all together, but recently I discovered a gourmet brand that makes THE BEST peanut butter and now eat it almost daily.
ReplyDeleteI like all kinds of peanut butter. But sometimes I go too far, and discover there's such a thing as overload. So I've been trying to be better about that.
DeleteI avoided mushrooms for years due to an experience like that. Still don't like crunchy peanut butter though.
