Hi Sean,
RH> Sounds like you didn't do much damage.
SD> Thankfully not.
My parents used to rub us with cider vinegar when we got sunburned.
Don't know which was worse, the burn or smelling like vinegar. (G)
RH> Turned me off from pb&j by the time I hit first grade but had to endure it
SD> until
RH> senior year when I got to buy lunch.
SD> I can definitely understand that. That's similar to why my mom cannot
SD> stand cheese, especially Velveeta and the like as her mom put cheese
SD> on
SD> -everything- and my mom got disgusted.
My mom used the American cheese slices for sandwiches, sometimes just
the cheese, bread and butter or mustard, never even bologna and and
cheese. For mac & cheese or cheese to go with apple pie, she used sharp
cheddar.
SD> On another note, my mother and I share some tastes that no one else in
SD> our family likes: licorice (the real stuff), ginger snaps, and
SD> cilantro. I love eggnog but I am the only one in the family that
SD> does; the smell of eggnog nauseates my stepfather. Yet he loves
SD> buttermilk and I cannot stand it.
I like licorice and cilantro in small amounts but ginger snaps and egg
nog in much larger quantities. (They go well together.) Buttermilk is
good for baking but I'd just as soon not drink it. (G)
