Foods 2

When you are growing up there are all different foods that you get to try, especially when you are going through school. Lunch line foods are usually really disgusting and cold, but every now and then you find one that you just love. Some people have very early food memories from loving a certain snack when they were toddlers or having a favorite restaurant. One thing is for sure you taste difinitely change over time.

The first food memory that i have is off eggs. I think i had the flu and happened to eat eggs at the onset off it. I got really sick right after eating them and threw them up. Needlss to say i haven't eaten eggs since then, and i think i was three when that happened.

In pre-school I loved Peanut butter and jelly. I didn't get to eat out much so i fell in love with what was available to me. Better to learn to like it then to go hungry i guess. In grade school and middle school we had these things called churro's that were absolutely amazing. Once a week we would get churro's in the lunch line. Churro's were these warm 12" cinnamon and sugar sticks. I would save it til the very end of my meal so i could enjoy it. I miss those. In high school however my favorite food was brought in from another company and not offered at the lunch line. Every wednesday we got hot bagels from St. Louis Bread Co. I always got two or three cinnamon crunch bagels. They are still my favorite bagels to this day!!

I am not much of a cook at all. My dad even got me the cookbook "how to boil water" for christmas as a joke, but then realized how much i needed it. Its still in the wrapper i think. Thats what i think about cooking. Don't get me wrog i have cooked Briana meal before. I made him mashed potatoes and cheesy shells. Well he asked were the meat was. I hadn't learned to make meat yet, and still have no clue how to cook it.

Over the years i never really noticed my tastes changing, but ever since i got pregnant they have changed so much. There are foods that i love one day and can't stand the next. I can love and hate the same food three times a day. It crazy. i will whine to get strawberry ice cream then it comes and i remember i hate strawberry ice cream and i can't eat it. I guess we will have to see what happens to my tastes after Abigail is born...maybe they will be normal again!
