Each to his own tastes, I guess. I’m not that fond of cole slaw, although there is a certain deli (same one I refer to in my comment below) that makes the best in the world. As for sauerkraut, I won’t go near it. But a good stuffed cabbage is something special.
Mostly I’m with Brutus on this one. After a lifetime of habit, unlikely our tastes will change — or that most of us would be willing to try to change them. My exception is that, after spending a lifetime avoiding all salad dressings, I discovered in the last couple of years that I like Blue Cheese dressing on my salad. If my mother were still here and saw me having salad with dressing, her reaction would likely be, “Who are you and what have you done with my son?”
Speaking of Mom (and cabbage), when she made corned beef and cabbage, I’d happily eat the corned beef but avoided the cabbage. I never liked it boiled. But her stuffed cabbage was a rare and welcome treat. And I know a good Kosher deli which serves an excellent stuffed cabbage — I almost always order it when I’m there.
When it comes to caring for my teeth, I don’t pray (actually, I don’t pray at all, but that’s a different subject). I just try to listen that Voice from Above — my dentist!
I have terrifying dreams of being chased by the unhealthy horrors of a KFC meal. But my wife and I still enjoy it, so we indulge ourselves about three times a year.
I’m not yet retired, but I am getting to the age where I sometimes find myself identifying more with Uncle Ted than with Brutus. This is one of those occasions.
Never seen, met or conversed with an angel. Quite sure that anything I ever swatted away was, in fact, a fly.
