Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! :)

They had candy corn harvest mix down in the cafeteria - that makes it happy for me.

ETA: I don't hate lima beans anymore! They're not my favorite vegetable, but they're on the good side of tolerable. Yay for expanding my horizons (sort of)! Be warned, however, that this largesse will not extend to my two nemeses, the mushroom and the raisin (I won't even mention lobster, because why would I even want to eat a large armored sea rat?).

Y'know, I think I'll refrain from the comment I was going to make about you and mushrooms.... ;)

In all seriousness, though, mushrooms are great. If eating them plain is a problem, try them stuffed, or stir-fried. Personally, though, I'll just rinse them and eat them as a snack sometimes.

I can guess about the comment, I think, but I'm also curious... :)

My dislike of mushrooms is based on two things: 1) I don't like the way they smell or their texture (both of which could be overcome by type of mushroom and cooking style, I guess), and 2) I don't want to eat fungus. It's a carnivorous plant phobia that I've had since I was little, plus the knowledge that "fungi are more chemically and genetically similar to animals than other organisms", which is why they were moved out of the Plant Kingdom into their own Kingdom (yes, I eat meat, but this is a fungus, not an animal!). I mean, I didn't eat jello for about a year because I heard a report that jello jiggles in the same way as the human brain (I got over that one [g]).

Basically, I eat plants, I eat animals (some of them), I'm sure I eat tons of protista and monera, but I try my hardest not to eat fungi. I like it that way. :)
