So I went to WC Legally Blond the other day and while I found it charming and fun, I knew I wasn't in the big City. They had sound trouble all through the thing, and sometimes some of the singers mikes weren't on whereas other times they were blasting. I was told when I recounted the story that I was a snob.
True, I have gotten used to the best, and when you have had the best it is always hard to go back to common folk stuff. However, I do like eating common food. Hamburgers, french fries, pizza, nachos, potato skins. My palate isn't that sophisticated that it can't cram down a burger or two, but on the more exotic food I am definitely snobbish.
Where is this going? TH said I am not very daring? experimental? adventurous? in my food. And that is wrong. I don't like many foods that is true, but I will always try something. Very few foods have I completely bulked at eating (chicken feet being one) but I will always eat what is put in front of me whether or not I like the food. Especially if I am a guest at someones house. In fact I will eat it all and say it was yummy even if I am gagging the whole way. I am a very good guest. But more then that I am a quiet adventurer, I am afraid to do things, but I will do them anyway. That is what surprises people the most, but if people knew our family they wouldn't be that surprised, we are all like that to one extent or another. I think it came from our dad's love of adventure, and our mom's acceptance to go along with his adventures even though she may not have wanted to. And usually in the end, it was our mom who had the better time on the adventure then our dad, but he kept looking for that elusive grand adventure that would top all others. We only have one in the family (other then my dad) who is like that and it isn't me.

But you are a great adventurer!
ReplyDeleteT3 is most modest person I know - she always undersells her accomplishments & abilities.
ReplyDeleteHOWEVER, the is NOT adventurous about food - she'll put it on MY plate when she thinks no one is looking!
Well, T-Bird will eat anything that is put on her plate and especially when she is a guest!! My father tricked her so many times when we went there for dinner, T finally said enough! Lets see, elk/deer for beef steaks, rabbit for chicken just to name a few!!
ReplyDeleteYou just keep being daring!!
