Kirby Posted August 5, 2019 Share #9 Posted August 5, 2019 There are lots of things I don't like, but I don't recall trying hard to like them. Mostly if I don't like something, I'm fine with that, although there are times it would have been convenient to drink coffee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a local Italian restaurant that makes baked Brussel sprouts. They wrap the sprouts in prosciutto and then bake the things. Those are pretty good if you like the saltiness of the prosciutto. Bacon would be better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, jsharr said: I detest okra for this very reason and have a hard time with any fruit or vegetable that has seeds covered in slimy glop. Tomatoes were a very hard one for me to get over -- but I've made it. I don't set records clearing the bar, but I can now eat a slice of tomato on a burger or in a taco salad, for example. No way with your cucumbers though. Nasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted August 6, 2019 Share #25 Posted August 6, 2019 Math....it's a necessity at the most basic level. Fans tell me there is poetry in math. I'm sure there is, but it doesn't jive with me naturally. And I will be suggesting to my manager, to try reporting slightly different metrics. Telling the story of department, is not good enough if it's just numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbery black California olives are the worst! Green olives like castelvetrano rock the house, as well as real black olives like kalamata olives. So good! i hated olives until I was 44 or so, something clicked then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
