Food . . . a necessary evil

I am a very picky eater so I cannot get frustrated when my daughter refuses to eat . . . pretty much anything. It is crazy because she will eat most of the things I ate while I was pregnant. But I had gestational diabetes which further limited my picky-eating choices. For instance Bacos - I love Baco's - not real bacon bits - but the fake ones - the unhealthy ones. But I love them on salad with cheese and ranch (I will get into the cheese and ranch another time -but let's say there are specifications for those as well) So Charles accidentally got the bits - no - hate the bits- they have to be the CHIPS!!! Don't ask. You are talking about the girl who would get pizza flavored combos - eat the pretzel outside of the cheesy inside and her boyfriend would take what was left to work to have with his lunch . . .and he put up with much harassment which didn't bother him in the least. I did have some good boyfriends. About the combos -no - I did not want plain pretzels - I wanted the combo pizza flavored ones and nothing else would suffice. I actually went thru a phase of eating only rice from a chinese food restaurant - with kikomann and sweet and sour sauce that only one restaurant made the way I liked it. No not rice someone made at home and no other kinds of sauce would do - it had to be the rice in the cute little orgami chinese food take out bin - steamed to perfection. Or should I tell you about the period where I only ate pita bread and salsa . . . even took it to Germany since I was sure they would not have the kind I liked there . . . and they didn't - so I basically starved once my stash was used up.

I could go on . . . but I will spare you all any more crazy details . . . as for the quote of the day . . .

"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock."
– Thomas Jefferson

I love this - and so agree - however I have to say observe the current and create your own style. And may I add - in matters of personal crazy habits - definitley stand like a rock . . . don't ever feel your uniqueness requires explaining. And bend or change only if your bored with your current style (or staple) . . . that's what makes the world delicious and all of us our special concoction.
