Jul 2017

Olives - especially black. I can eat a whole can without blinking
Onions - green or globe, best if sautéed
Lamb - it's just nice
Bell peppers - as long as they are not spoiled or moldy inside
Carrots - they really make a salad pop
Lima beans - OK
Mushrooms - full of umani, what's not to like?
Cucumbers - another essential salad item
Eggs - one of the most perfect foods
Mayonnaise - love it, but only the good stuff.
Celery - especially the tender heart
Broccoli - it was my favorite food on a kindergarten questionnaire
Cilantro - adds that je ne sais quoi to any mexican dish
Raw tomato - another essential salad item
Pickles - OK, I have distinct preferences. My favorite is homestyle or Polish style. But they can be hard to find.
Black Licorice - YUM!
