So I would consider myself a grown up in many ways.... financially independent, steady job, have started referring to 10pm as "staying up late", but up until recently I had the taste buds of an approximate 8 yr old. About a year ago I started branching out and trying things I wasn't sure about, but it was still in moderation.... we're talking going from plain and dry sandwiches to ones with lettuce, oooooooo :)
In the last month or two, however, I have been making a real effort to be a grown up. I've been ordering things off of menus that contain things like "corn relish" and "red peppers", things that would have been an automatic no in the past are more like a challenge now. November was the first month I had EVER eaten broccoli, green beans, snap peas, the assorted Japanese food at Nate's family Thanksgiving, all sorts of stuff. It isn't a struggle anymore, I just stick it in my mouth and I usually find that I at least like it enough to swallow, usually enough to go back for more. There is some stuff I still don't like, but I have an open mind and I'm looking forward to trying the world of food all over again :)

That's really funny, because I totally had the same issue, which I resolved 2.5 years ago by living for a summer with a family who cooked all sorts of different things that my mom never would have cooked... I've now discovered how much fun food can be. :-)
Yeah, my mom is a phenomenal cook which actually made it worse cause then I didn't want to try other things because her's are so good :)
Aww, my baby's growing up ;)
I'm proud of you, Abby...I already was, but you know how important food is to me:)
OK...just about any comment I make could get me in trouble with someone so I'll just ask two things: Does this mean that you will try everything I cook and have you revisited brussel sprouts?
I'm trying most everything at least once. I have to say though, I don't think i'll ever be ready to revisit brussel sprouts :P
Stay away from squash!
