Adventures with the letter A

Wednesday, when I picked the letter A out of the hat, I was really excited.  For the letter A, I already had some foods planned out that I wanted to try for fun!! Asparagus, anchovies, and avocado.  I think instead of eating foods with all A's all day yesterday, I had made it a point to try all three of these foods.

First I got to try the anchovies on a pizza.  Never again, trust me. EWWW! I can't describe the feeling of disgust that overwhelmed my veins when I took a big bite of pizza with the anchovies on it.  We even ordered the pizza with extra cheese just to try and take a little bit of the taste away.  I can honestly say that eating food and anchovies, will be the furthest thing on my mind for a long time! 

Now as far as the avocado and the asparagus, yummy.  We had made some sort of avocado spread to eat with some pita chips.  With the asparagus  I had just fried some up because I heard that's a goodway to eat them dipped in ranch dressing. I loved it. Next time I want to actually try asparagus with a salad or a certain dish, maybe savored in a little butter.  I was so proud of myself and the fact that I got to try so many different items this very day.  This is becoming more and more fun when I think of the little things that I am accomplishing. 

All in all, it was a A for the day!

  2. Thank you! I haven't been as dedicated as it may seem... I'm actually starting to feel bad about it but I think setting my quest up the way I did was setting myself up for failure. I needed to just say I would try something new everyday out of the different letters of the alphabet. Not to actually eat only foods with that letter. But we live and learn right? :)
