This goal may seem strange, but if you knew me as a kid, it wouldn't! I was the pickiest eater you ever saw! My diet consisted of cereal, lemon or lime yogurt (the only kinds without chunks in that day), bread and butter, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, apples and pears (the only fruit I liked), chicken nuggets, and occasionally I could manage to eat a baby carrot. Eeeverything gave me the gag reflex. My parents used to make me eat mixed vegetables at dinner, and I'd crawl under the dinner table to "eat" them (usually I'd stuff them under the legs of the table) there, because I had to plug my nose and swallow them with water. True story.
So now I like lots of food. Actually, I'm the most adventurous eater in my family now! (I'm kinda proud of that!) But there are still several things I've never tried. Like okra. Until last night.
We had okra and jambalaya (another dish I'd never had)! I really enjoyed the jabalaya. The okra was...a little mucus-y. But ok. I would eat it again if someone else made it, but I don't picture myself ever making it.
