Whoa..... Coffee? You hate COFFEE? I seriously need to rethink our relationship.
I'm going to miss you DG (crying loudly)!

This is the reality:

Coffee smells likes Heaven...but tastes like Hades.

I don't "hate" it. I just hate the taste. I love the smell. That's gotta count for something

Neither of my parents drink coffee either. I think that plays into it. My grandparents did, all day every day. But that was my only exposure

I sometimes wish I liked coconut.

I've been drinking a lot of "Bai5", which comes in a case of 15 from Costco, 5 flavors, one of which is coconut.

I've been re-homing the coconut.

(It's delicious, and 10 calories in an 18 ounce bottle.)

But I don't like the coconut.

Never found a taste for it. Not for lack of trying though

Country music...it's ubiquitous here, and I really don't like it at all. I'd try line dancing if I could learn to like country music.

Years ago, DH made me listen to various country artists.

...the things we do for love...

Maybe Sawyer Brown? Little Big Town? Darius Rucker? (He did a duet with Adele of "Need You Now," which I liked batter than Lady Antebellum's original.)

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Put me in the fish, running & veggie group. I don't much care for any of them & wish I did.

Tea & country music are both good!

Yogurt of any kind makes my stomach churn. So does running.
__________________________________________________

the hell with running ( though do like yogurt )--unless it's tennis, soccer, rugby, etc. am not interested--depending on your age, running can be very damaging to your knees, ankles, hips and joints--no thanks--my father was a runner his whole life, was no. three or four in the nation for many years in the age-group decathlon competitions--not interested myself--he DID say that hiking ( with resistance ) was just as beneficial as running and WAY less detrimental to your body so have been hiking with a 60-65lb pack everyday for the last several years--about a 1.8mile course around

Vette · Owl drink to that!

Olives

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

What is with the olive hate? I freaking love olives.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I dunno. I don't love or hate them. They are just OK. I can take them or leave them!

Vette · Owl drink to that!

I don't know, I try them every once in a while to see if my taste buds change but not yet. I even eat them off my fingers how I'm supposed to!

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I wish I was more of a girly girl when I was younger. I wish I would have had more interest in fashion or shoes. Shoes don't interest me. Neither do purses. I don't get it!!!!

Camping. Camping sounds fun in theory. But I just can't do it. I enjoy my comforts too much.

Bunny loves yogurt. I cannot choke it down. I swear it tastes like sour milk.

Tangerine · Guru

I do like camping. I just have to bring lots of bug spray and accept that I will be completely filthy after about four hours of it.
Lots of laundry when we get home.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I wish I liked traveling. But honestly, I am content to be a homebody. I really don't care if I leave the confines of home. I am happy just being where I am and if I never see some great sight, I am OK with that.

I wish I could grow a like for tomatoes. I tolerate them but I don't like them. I do love sundried tomatoes. I know they're a good source of lycopene and good for me but I can't get past the taste.

Shrimp and shellfish - I can tolerate shrimp but the texture makes me gag. I can't even tolerate shellfish - texture makes me gag. I don't have the occasion to eat either of these items so I'm not too worried about this issue.

DS loves tomatoes. I've started leaving them on my sandwiches or asking for them on the side when we go out so I can give them to him.

Tomatoes are one of the few that are healthier for you cooked. So, make some sauce and put it on some pasta - that's plenty of tomato.

That's how I manage to tolerate them wink

I can only tolerate raw tomato if there's enough other stuff on my taco, burger, whatever that I don't taste it.

I don't eat raw tomato except in salsa. Salsa is good. Eat it that way.

I love salsa! I don't even notice the tomato in there.

DS loves salsa too. He inherited my love for spice.

Well, see? You get plenty of tomato. Don't force yourself to eat it in ways you dislike.

I like lettuce - but only in salad. I take it off sandwiches, and don't want it on my taco. I'm ok with that.

NAOW · Vette's SS

I don't like raw tomato either, but I don't feel like I need to like it either.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

I love tomatoes any which way. I am not a fan of the Big Boy variety though. They always seem mealy to me. I tend to go for the denser ones like Roma or Plum.

Blankie · Guru

I really wish I liked flying.

And more kinds of fruit.
