And I wonder why my kids are picky eaters?

This has to be documented.

It just makes me feel better.

Every holiday has food that is a tradition. Grandpa's pies at Thanksgiving, sugar cookies for Valentine's day, BBQ for the 4th of July, you get the idea. My least favorite holiday food is Easter food. Ham. Every year there is the ham. Stick it in a bun, serve it with a side of potato salad, it's still the stinking ham. The reason why I despise ham is because it smells and tastes like pee.

Well, Lew was reading a science magazine and it had a list of 20 Things You Didn't Know About Food. Check out #14. Celery, pork and truffle mushrooms contain androstenone, and aromatic compound that strongly influences flavor. Half of all people cannot smell it, about 15 percent find it woody or floral, and the rest think it smells like stale urine!

AHH HAA! See, I'm not crazy! Now I just have to find proof that cooked carrots taste like old encyclopedias!
