happy friday / guacamole:

July 8, 2011

We have reached another weekend. Have we really already arrived to July? Goodness me. Will time flying ever get old? I wish one of these days, I could just say "This week was so slow for me" But it seems like I'm always saying how the time is flying! Sometimes I wonder what it'd be like to go back to childhood days when summers were long and it seemed like we'd never grow up! ;)

So for today's images, I photographed some guacamole. Random, I know. But I absolutely positively love guacamole as of late, but I have to admit - I didn't always like avocado's. My close friends know I'm kind of a picky eater but isn't it weird how our tastes change? I would have never picked up an avocado growing up, even though there were plenty to be found here in California. Now I can't get enough! It makes for such a great snack too. Do you have any foods like that for you? Foods you didn't like at all but now you like?
I am wondering if my tastes will ever change for other foods I dislike such as onions, pickles, and cheese? I doubt it... but maybe! ;) Well, this weekend we are selling at Renegade SF! Hope you can stop by if you're in the area. Wishing you a splendid weekend dear friends. xo.
oh hello

35 hello's:

    Haha - you know me! I still don't eat avocados! It seems like such a waste, cuz we have some of the best avocados here in CA! Oh well, maybe one day my tastes will change to like them (although, I highly doubt they'll change for me liking tomatoes ;). Anyway - yay, I'll see you in Renegade SF this weekend! Good luck with the planning & drive and everything!! <3

    Thing 1: Chips and guac is my favorite food group. Thing 2: I always think it's fascinating how tastes change -- don't you wonder the cause of it?! Was just talking about that with a friend the other day.

    Have a great weekend!

    We had guac for dinner last night - it's pretty much my favorite meal. Could eat my weight in it :) I love random posts like this!

    I'm finding so many things lately that I didn't used to like but now love. The biggest on the list is rice. Everyone I know freaked out when I started eating rice. :) I also have never liked guac until 2 weeks ago when a friend who owns a resteraunt made me Indian tacos and he put fresh guac on...words cannot describe how YUM that was!

    Wait, did you just say you don't like cheese?! Oh my, I can't get enough! :)
    I am so loving guac these days, too. My husband had never had one until we lived together and now it's a staple on our grocery list!

    Mmmm. I loved guac before, but pregnancy has certainly super-charged that.

    I'm embarrassed to say I "found" guacamole only a couple of years ago, but I absolutely love it. And I used to hate cabbage but now, as long as there's the right sauce on it or a really nice gravy, I'll eat it happily.

    I think person's taste changes over time as it might come from introducing variety of food & trying new things. When I was a kid everything was yucky to me except chocolate of course:D Now I cook a lot and not afraid to try smth. new. I also noticed I crave for specific food when my body needs certain nutrients.

    avocados are one of my favorite foods.. i can't get enough of them! i would love to live in california for that reason alone. it is funny how our tastes change.. i'm hoping my hubby's will evolve more because he is the pickiest eater ever & i will eat just about anything!

    Your bowl the guac is in makes me so happy! I love dishes that make me smile, and not many do. I think I need that one! So bright and cheery.

    I know what you mean about time flying... someone once told me as you get older if you measure a certain period of time it becomes a smaller and smaller fraction compared to your age, and that's why it always feels like time is speeding up. Sigh!

    Since having kids my tastebuds have definitely changed. I used to hate pork, and now I love it and the same for broccoli.

    Have a great weekend!

    I was the same way with avocados Danni. I never touched them for the longest time and now I'm slowly starting to love guacamole. They have a weird consistency, I couldn't get past that for the longest time. Good luck this weekend in SF! I wish I could stop by but I'll be seeing you in LA the next weekend.

    It's so weird how our tastes for food change in time! I used to hate sooo many things that I love now. As a kid I barely ate veggies and only certain fruits. Now I'll eat almost any veggie (except peas, yuck!!!). I still can't get into bananas though...too slimy. Lol.

    I can't believe you don't like cheese!! Oh man I love cheese. Haha. :)

    You should try the mexican guacamole, not the fake avocados from the US, mexican avocados are amazing.

    I have never really been a picky eater, but some things are definitely an acquired taste - between me and avocados however, it was love at first bite :-)

    OMG, I've always hated pickles, but recently (now that I'm NOT pregnant) I started craving pickles on hot dogs. Strangest thing ever. Now I love pickles.
