guacamole.

I have discovered guacamole! My mom will probably be the first to admit this, even before me, but I am a very picky eater. If i don't like...then I DON'T like it. I'm stubborn when it comes to gross food (at least what's gross to me). Of course, there are those times when you have to be polite and eat whats given to you (i.e. mission...), but other than that, I am very stubborn when it comes to food.

But every so often, my taste bud barriers collapse, and I discover that maybe I have been missing out on something big. Something HUGE! In the past there have been many food obstacles I have overcome: pineapples, corndogs, moms taco soup, spaghetti, cornbread, the ends of bananas, moving from happy meals to the adult menu, angel food cake, and even bread crust. But no more talking about that. I'm talking about guacamole!

IT IS SO GOOD!

I let my stubbornness stand aside the other day and tried it. My whole life I thought guacamole looked disgusting. The green mixed with chunky stuff and the sound of gooey avocado's just made me cringe. But my friend April Theis made her very special home made guacamole so I HAD to try it...and man, what have I been missing! The taste: sublime. The texture: splendidness. The after-thought of what I had just witnessed: pure joy! I couldn't believe it. It was so good in fact, that my roommate and I bought more avocado's to create our own brand of guacamole. Of course, anything I make homemade is bound to be ruined, so actually he ended up doing most of it. But I got to enjoy the rest. I love it.

So what's next? V8 Juice? Meatloaf? Raisins? Peanut-Butter Cookies? Bleu Cheese? Spinach? Yogurt? Gingerbread? Super Taqueria? Tomatoes (NEVER!)? What could possibly be my next step toward normal food liking? Can't wait to find out.
