Get a dog little longie

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Howdy everyone from
the lone star state. We arrived in good order and have had the opportunity to check out our friends house and go see a barrel racing competition.

The good news is my friends have a wifi so I will be able to post to the blog, at least till Friday. I am hoping that I will have enough time to write a few posts and email them to my account so I can post for the entire trip.


I was thinking about all the foods that people don’t like . I personally think the three top hated foods are brussel sprouts ( I cant see them without thinking about the pods that the aliens in the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers were born in), broccoli ( I used to tell my oldest son that they were baby trees) and liver ( totally disgusting) . I will admit I hate two out of the three; brussel sprouts and liver. I really like broccoli, don’t know why I never really eat it as a kid.

Here is the thing that bugs me. Why is it when you tell people that you dislike something you so often hear “well you haven’t had it the way I cook it.” Ok, I admit I have not had liver cooked by every bubby/grandma along the way, but I can tell you this. I dislike liver with a passion, I mean I can’t even stand to be at the same table as people that are eating it. So when people tell me that I have not had it the way they cook it I want to say is “ LOOK ITS STILL LIVER AND LIVER TASTE LIKE LIVER. I mean why should I keep trying it if I don’t like it. I have tried many peoples recipe for fixing liver, both hot and cold (chopped). Sometimes people will tell me that I will like their way of cooking liver because it doesn’t taste like liver. Ok I am sure you can anticipate what I am going to say; why would I want to bother eating something that does not taste like it was intended to taste, What is the point of that? it.

Why are there all these people in the world touting the wonders of liver? Is there some kind of secret liver lobby that I am not aware of? It used to be people would tell you how good it was for you. I never believed it and now we know that it is not true.

The last time a friend went on and on about the wonders of liver I stopped them and asked the question “ do you know what a liver does” the person looked at me like I just asked them to explain quantum physics. I went on to say” basically a liver filters all the aaa….errr …crap out of your blood . So when you are eating liver you are eating a crap filter .” The horror on the persons face let me know that as usual I had gone a little to far. In my defense I would like to say if this person had not kept bugging me about trying liver when I had already told them how much I loathe it I probably would have let it go.

So here is the moral of the story. If a person tells you they don’t like something just accept it. and move on. That is why there is so much variety of food in life because people dislike something and like others. Do not proselytize people over to your personal food favorites. Its ok if your friend thinks that tuna casserole is not a food suitable for human consumption ( I would agree with that) . Its ok if you like peanut butter banana and mayo sandwiches .

So be bold with your food likes and dislikes, but be tolerant of others. Difference is what makes the world go around.
