I'm A Picky Eater.

As mentioned in my last post, I was going to try and find a grocery store. I ended up finding one but it was kind of far away from my school and dorm - however, I will probably go back. Why? Because they have peanut butter. Several people told me I wouldn't be able to find PB overseas which concerned me because I'm a picky eater and my fallback is usually PB&J. I have half board here so I get breakfast and dinner but I also knew I would need something for lunch and for those nights when dinner was yucky. So imagine how excited I was when I was coming up the escalator (yes, there's an escalator in the store) and out of the corner of my eye I caught what looked like a small jar of peanut butter. It really made my day. So now, I will not starve to death.

Now, I'm trying to conquer being a picky eater and I believe I have already made great strides. I ate about 3/4 a plank (I think that's what you call it) of fish the other night. It was really fishy and had nothing on it, but I was hungry. However, not hungry enough to finish it. Then, last night there was what I would like to call a "Yuck Salad". It had: peas, corn, little artichokes, tuna, eggs and pasta. I don't like peas, artichokes or tuna and with the rest of the stuff it just seemed odd. Then the woman who works here that was sitting with offered me some mayonaise, which I don't particularly care for either, but it did make it taste better and I actually ended up having seconds and with the fried whatever it was that they also had, it was a good dinner. See, great strides?

  1. VERY proud of you! Bring on the raw oysters!!!:) Just kidding
    I had shark when I was in Spain, and I thought it was pretty good, and I usually don't like seafood. I also didn't really like their salads...they ALWAYS put crab, tuna or some kind of fish in it.
    Glad you're having fun!
