acquired taste

our internet was on the fritz all day and i almost couldn't eek out this vital information to you!

here i am, just in the nick of time, to tell you how much i love sour things. pickled sour things. vinegary things. it was not always so.

i credit my Aunt Sarah for persuading me, through her parties of Round Food or Orange Food, which always involved the famous Barton Olive Cheese Appetizers, to develop a love for green olives. now any family gathering involves me inhaling about 87 tons of those things.

RedBeard wants nothing to do with it. no olives, no pickles, no capers, and definitely no sauerkraut! boy did i have to go a long afternoon with no kisses the day i decided my veggie hot dogs needed some kraut.

the good news is i never have to hoard any of these things when i buy them, because i know i'm the only one who will eat them. i think capers are totally awesome!
