42°f/5.5°C, clear and beautiful start to the day. High of 56 expected.
A friend posted a photo from Canaan Valley in eastern West Virginia, where they had a stiff of snow last night and temps in the 20's. They can keep it, I like snow but in its time and place--winter!
Larry worked on the van most of the day; a shield underneath that protects the oil pan had come loose and was dragging. It was a headache of a job, as he had to take it off, heat it a little to get it straightened out and then put it back on, all of this while laying on his back because we don't have a lift. The ramps helped a little, but he had a long cold time of it.
Me? House cat, stayed inside most of the day! I made omelets for breakfast--cheese, onion, asparagus, and tomato--with whole grain toast, ham and grape juice. A morning feast! Thrn I packaged the rest of that big ham for the freezer (we bought it on sale for .89 a pound), and made brownies to warm up the kitchen. The rest of the day I spent working on a chest of drawers and ebay, doing listing and packing sales. Dinner was rice and beans with sliced cucumbers and, you guessed it, asparagus. We are getting plenty.
A friend posted this on Facebook, asking, which foods would you NOT eat? Here's my no-no list:
1.Miracle Whip--only if real mayo isn't available
2.Pickles --yum!
3.Almond Milk --why not?
4.Black Jelly Beans --nope, yuck
5.Pineapple Pizza --my favorite!
6.Sardines--love them broiled on toast
7. Oysters--sure
8.Sushi--um, no. Raw fish? No.
9.Candy Corn--love it, rarely have it
10.Vienna Sausages --nope
11.Brussels sprouts--if cooked properly, sure
12.Mushrooms--yum
13. Liver--love it
14.Circus Peanuts --they're okay, not a favorite
15.Bologna--if nothing else is available
16.Black Olives--yes indeed!
17.Green Olives--nope
18.Blue Cheese 🤮
19.Fruitcake -- you know I love it, the homemade kind only though
20.SPAM --if I have to
21.Cabbage-- good stuff
22.Potato Salad --absolutely
23.Eggnog--yum!
24.Black Coffee --only way to drink it
25.Anchovies--love them on pizza

27.Sauerkraut--yes, on the menu pretty often
28.Mountain oysters 🤮
29.Pigs feet--never tried them, but I would if offered
30.Coleslaw --good food!
How about you? Any you won't eat? Anything you would add as a no-go?
There’s a lot on my not-preferred list. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't eat hardboiled eggs or cephalopods. Or truffles (the fungi). I'm not much on organ meats either, but I think it's because that was never part of my childhood meals. I do wish I had been exposed to a wider range of foods as a child, because I love fried clams, for example, since they were a summer treat. But if I was just exposed to clams for the first time now, I'd probably feel the same way as I do about oysters, which is...no, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many different kinds of Sushi...even some without raw fish! I am not a fan of circus peanuts or candy corn. Or little oily fishes. Green olives either. I love liver and onions. Cabbage is a versatile vegetable. I had pigs feet once. Did not like 'em. I will say though that I can't think of a lot of things that I don't love. I can't think of anything I would refuse to eat.
ReplyDeleteAnchovies, sardines, oysters, pigs feet, olives and blue cheese are great!
ReplyDelete...half of them are not for me.
ReplyDeleteThere's very little on the list that I wouldn't eat, but several things that I would prefer not to. :)
ReplyDeleteYou were busy for a chilly day. I agree with many but not all of your food choices. My stomach is in charge of a couple of things that used to be ok, but no longer. I'm grateful to enjoy a lot of delicious and nutritious things!
ReplyDeleteNo liver for me. My mom used to make me eat it. Childhood trauma! lol I do love some crispy fried Spam. I rarely eat it, though.
ReplyDeletePoor Larry!
ReplyDeleteI did outside work and it was cold.
sardines, oysters and sushi are no goes for me.
ReplyDeleteI'd be okay with almost all except anything related to meat or seafood. I know it's a shame to live where seafood is readily available and not like it but what can you do!! I had to look up mountain oysters. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteNice of you to make Brownies as I'm sure Larry was rewarded after working under the van.
