So about 4 weeks ago I decided, “Hmm.. I like coffee now.” And that was that.
Since then, I’ve had at least 1-2 cups-o-joe daily. It’s amazing how your tastes evolve as you age. (Wow, I sound like I’m 79.) I was once told that your tastes change every 7 years. That means last year was a big year for me…. I learned to like different types of alcohol, coffee, (still don’t like beer-we’re working on that), fish (salmon is 1 of my favorite foods now), etc…
I remember when I was about 7 I used to hate french fries. I know, you’re thinking “What was wrong with you, child?!!” It’s true. Then 3 years later during a trip to the drive-through I spontaneously decided, “Yes, I will have some french fries”, and I liked them. Strange. Needless to say, I’m not a huge fan of french fries in my current state of taste.
I’ve always disliked watermelon *bows head in embarassment.* I’ve tried EVERYTHING to like it. Drenching it in salt, sugar, plugging my nose, playing “games” like seed-spitting, etc… Nothing has yet to solve this problem. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. Maybe this is the year!? *Crosses fingers*
Now, for the funny photo(s) of the day…. please visit this HILARIOUS site. I’m a big fan of parodies- and this is a GOOD one. You know you’ve made fun of this particular situation before….we all have.

Don’t feel bad about not liking watermelon. I hear Pol Pot and Kruschev (and many other America haters) had a hard time with it.

I hate to say it, but your taste buds actually evolve every seven days. How do I know this? I wrote about it for a newspaper article and, of course, we had to double check the fact. I myself thought it was every seven years, but, alas, it is every seven days.
