Someone else’s cooking? :D A-men. Maybe that’s the difference….

I’ve begun to believe part of my adjustment comes from my increasing intolerance for junk food, though. I can’t handle grease like I used to.

Aunt B’Ann,

Fried cucumbers? Hm. I never even thought of such a thing. Interesting notion. I know I’m oddly attracted to fried pickles (if you haven’t tried them, you’re letting the best things in life pass you by).

I’ll have to try them!

Like fried cucumbers&#8212;now, I don&#8217;t like cucumbers, but I do like them fried. Just slice them, roll them in cornmeal and salt (pepper, too, if you like pepper on them) and fry until brown. Mmmmm! Delicious!</p> Diana, have you tried frying squash? ‘Tis good fried. Like fried cucumbers—now, I don’t like cucumbers, but I do like them fried.

One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that it wasn’t just my tastes changing that allowed me to enjoy things I didn’t like before. Sometimes I like things because it’s someone else’s cooking.

I just learnt what “spaghetti squash” was a few months ago. My cousin across town introduced me to it. I just picked up one two days ago. I’m thinking of making lasagna with it.

I’ve never been much of a squash fan, either. It seems my tastes have changed over time, though. Most squash dishes I eat these days strike me as tasty, provided the squash isn’t boiled until it’s mush, or otherwise violated beyond repair.

Aunt B’Ann,

You’re welcome. :) It’s my pleasure.
