love brussel sprouts - and although there is a relationship to cabbage, they are different.

never tried raw beef, otherwise I pretty much like everything people mentioned to eat. Even stuff I haven't had.

it took me way to long to figure out the different clicks.

Anyone can learn to program, but not everyone can be a programmer. You should authentically enjoy the work if you're going to prosper in a career as a programmer."

this was the conclusion of everyone in my one programming class.

DH ( whom I admit is brilliant) does not have as CS degree. However he took advanced math classes and some programming. He ( along with his brother in the middle ) has a brain that seems to be wired like a data base - except without the limitations. his BA is in hisory - His masters is in English with an emphasis in linguististic. Even with programming languaes he doesn't know - he can often see problems because he recognizes things like never ending loops - etc. When he worked for a buy out firm the partners had him read legal contracts to find things like loop holes. He is a senior sys. amin ( UNIX) . did I mention he is brilliant?

I've finally grown into liking asparagus. But it took a while.

I'm a weirdly picky eater.

Lee. don't stack cats. pay attention to us!

I make brussels sprouts so they are crispy and greasy and salty. Like popcorn with vitamins. Mmmmmm.

I stacked many , many cats. now must go to bed so I can go to jury duty and be a happy and bright cittizen.

I think I've only had Brussel sprouts once when I was a kid.

It qualifies as food I didn't like enough to try again.

Lee. don't stack cats. pay attention to us!

OKAY!

I don't like brussel sprouts, and I am allergic to cabbage.

I didn't like brussel sprouts growing up, but my mom adores them and always cooks them. Starting around 10 years ago I ate them again and now look forward to having them and really enjoy them.

Timelies all. Just got this from a friend in LA and had to share it:

So, I was searching through the LA City Municipal Code looking for grounds to get rid of the burned-out guy living in his trailer in front of his parents house next door to me - he has Tourettes and Narcolepsy and harasses everyone in the neighborhood and has trespassed into my back yard several times and peered through the windows at 1:00am, and he also apparently was a Silver Medalist on the Olympic Boxing Team at some point - and found this little gem of an ordinance in Chapter IV (Public Welfare):

SEC. 41.16. SNUFF – THROWING OF.

No person shall throw, blow or otherwise scatter on any street, sidewalk, restaurant, cafe, theatre, place of amusement or other public place any snuff, or any substance which injuriously affects the olfactory nerves or which causes sneezing or coughing or otherwise injuriously affects the person.

At what point in the history of Los Angeles was snuff-throwing so great a threat to public safety that this found it's way into the Municipal Code? 1762? I know the Internet is full of cutesy little "Still on the Books!" postings but this one happens to be genuine so I thought I'd pass it on.

Anyway, if this guy starts throwing snuff, I've got him!

I keep meaning to try out an Italian Beef, but still haven't gotten around to it.

Cabbage yay, brussels sprouts boo. Eh on asparagus. Does that cover everything? Oh, wait. Love raw beef, no interest in raw or cooked veal.

Employee 1) I've always meant to try Chinese food one of these days.

Employee 2) Yeah, there are three Chinese resteraunts around here - we really should give it a try.

Employee 3) I had a gyro once. i like exotic food. We ought to try it.

We went out for hamburgers.

Just saw this in the overnights. Gar, that's classic non-big-city Midwestern. The last time Hubs and I visited my parents in WI, they took us to a Chinese restaurant. My father's comment: "I hope we get the Chinese waitress."

Hubs and I still use it with each other. It's one of our classics.

And on vegetables, raw cabbage good. Slawed cabbage can be excellent. Cooked cabbage blech. Actually, "raw good, cooked bad" pretty much describes my feelings toward veggies generally.
