I live to eat and only wish I could be more adventurous. I feel the need to apologize for my inability to eat spicy food -- chilies of all kinds are out, cilantro. (I know that's a thing.) But

ginger snaps? too gingery. rhubarb? why not skip it and just eat a handful of sugar?.. and on and on. And the aging palate/gut continues to shrink. I put a wonderful slice of pear in my mouth the other day, and felt my sinuses start to swell! Same thing happened with mangos. Sigh

Alright, you really got me there with the pears and the sinuses. May chuckle on and off all day whenever that surfaces in the make merry headquarters of my brain I actually remember where I was and who I was with when I first tasted

cilantro and could not believe how good it was. Lots of people can't stand cilantro; maybe genetic?
