our only common food we share in being unable to eat outside of the brussel sprouts is sauerkraut... I don't see that as qualifying as food... can't get past the smell.. lol..
I'm right there with you on the smell. Horrible stuff. My folks used to make sauerkraut and sausage when I was a kid. The kitchen reeked.

As it stands, I got my new innokin Coolfire z80 kit in the mail today and have already broken open the box to take a look see.. and woohoo just LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Can't wait to fill her up and take her for a vape! haha
I should be getting my Z80 kit tomorrow, according to tracking. I'm looking forward to it. Let us know how you like it.

    I can't get through even one swallowed bite of brussel sprouts..

    our only common food we share in being unable to eat outside of the brussel sprouts is sauerkraut... I don't see that as qualifying as food... can't get past the smell.. lol..

    But I'm one of those people who taste things others can't, so food is likely different for me than many.

    I do find in life it's awesome though because all I have to do is taste a dish once, and can recreate it to perfection in 3 attempts or less.

    When I was young, well all my life really, I have loved cooking .. I mean like loved loved loved it. I don't know why, but it's just my joy - my happy place if you will. I go into the kitchen and all the cares of the world disappear...

    People all my life tried pushing me into doing it professionally but I couldn't imagine having the one thing I loved be anything other than my happy place. So I never made a career of it.

    At any rate my mom cooked growing up, stay at home mom, home cooked meals every day (going out to eat akin to sacrilege...lol) , all the foods she grew up with I ended up with daily.

    But I wanted to branch out - try new dishes. Experience in food other people's and cultures .. So as a young adult, whenever I was able I went to a new high end restaurant and ordered things I may have heard of but never got to try...

    Then I would go home and copycat it from taste memory - and it became a new dish in my home that my kids could grow up with and experience too.

    Over time I have developed amazing diversity in my cooking, and a large repertoire of dishes I make.

    One of the only complements my mother ever paid me was on my cooking. Was when I was coming in while she was at work to help care for her husband that had taken seriously ill and she couldn't afford a nurse.

    So of course I helped her when she asked, and I would cook her meals for her to come home to after work, and made sure the home was very tidy and clean as well.

    At any rate one night I made an Italian dish - totally awesome, one of my personal favorites, and she was eating it and was all wow this is amazing - where did you learn to cook like this!?!

    I said: "I learned from you".. I had spent my time from the moment I was tall enough to stand on a chair helping my mother cook.. learning all the basics.. and took it from there. I never learned from anyone else other than my great-grandmother, who came to spend a year with us after she heard of my love of cooking - to teach me our heritage, our dishes, to pass them on to someone who would likewise pass these things on.

    So at any rate... haha . I got wordy . sorry.

    hope you, and everyone here had a great day!

    Way to go OP!!! :) Lemme know when that Italian, or whatever, dinner is and I'll be there. :thumbs: You know, quite the tag team you two would have been, yup. Scary to imagine. Look out world.

    Think the 60 y/o and 61 y/o kids would have set you two up with a restaurant. ;) You two could have enjoyed your 'happy place' while he and I took care of the rest. Oh yeah, and good luck keepin' our fingers out of what's cooking in the kitchen. :lol:

    ETA: We would have to include Mel too. I mean, come on.

    Thank you, so it's safe to order from them?

    Yes, I order from them all the time. I haven’t ordered from more than one or two US vendors since they started the adult signature thing.
