Knock On What?

We have all heard the expression, "Knock on Wood."  You know what is funny?  I usually really believe doing that action will impact the outcome of whatever it is I was trying to change, avoid, or prevent by "knocking on the wood."  Surely I can not be the only one that feels this way since it is a very widely practiced action?

Just Put Some Butter On It

My carbohydrate of choice is by far bread.  I love, love, love it!!!  When I got married in fact, it was just about the only carbohydrate I ate on a regular basis.  I have never been a fan of potatoes, rice, and especially pasta.  My dear husband has been wonderful at exposing me to new and exciting foods throughout the years, I am happy to say I can now eat potatoes if they are covered in enough gravy, (the food of royalty) and I have learned that I quite like sticky rice, but prefer it when covered by some yummy sauce that is accompanying a Thai or Japanese dish.  Pasta on the other hand I still can not stand, much like my dislike for ice cream, I think the stuff is terrible and I truly do not understand how it is such a staple in most peoples lives. Disclaimer:  I do like fried noodles, but that hardly counts as pasta.

Who Doesn't Like Ice Cream?

Truth is...I don't like ice cream.  I can't really explain why, but I can tell you I have tried just about every kind, seeing as how my husband is a connoisseur of the stuff..and I just really don't like it. I don't think it is because it is cold, because, well I like other cold foods.  I don't think it is because it is sweet, again because I like other sweets.  I don't believe it is the texture either.  I have really thought about this, mostly because the majority of people I talk to that find out I don't like ice cream think I am crazy. (So I have often wondered if "they" were right)  My hubby tried a new flavor, carrot cake, the other night.. (even after all of our years together he still asks me if I want a bite of any kind he is eating)  I will partake every so often, in the off chance I might like one of these tastes.  I like carrot cake, maybe I would like ice cream that tastes like it. The conclusion I have come to; I just think ice cream is plain and simply yuck, I would rather have a nice cooked savory dinner anytime over this treat.  Sorry folks, I just don't think this is something I will ever learn to enjoy as much as the rest of you.
