Good morning, folks.
Thanks Jake, and good morning to you and all coffee-mates, this fine day.
I am up very early ( since 5 ) because I have a handyman coming over to put together a new piece of exercise equipment for me, that arrived last night.

I'm just happy he will work on a Saturday, even though I have to be bathed, dressed and ready by 8:30. He is licensed and bonded and willing to work. I admire that.
Ditto. It's a texture issue.
My wife's that way with peas and beans. I just like fruit pies and nut pies.
When I was a kid and forced to eat peas, I'd have to swallow them whole...if that stuff exploded in my mouth, I'd gag.
Peas are ok with me, what I never liked were broccoli and cauliflower. I guess the smell turned me off. Never ate them as a kid, and don't eat them now...My wife's that way with peas and beans. I just like fruit pies and nut pies.

I HATE Lemon Meringue Pie. It's yucky.
Me neither, don't like meringue or cream pies.

Wearing telfon okay, eating it not so much.

Well I might as well chime in too... I don't like it either. Not a big fan of lemon flavored anything.
Update on Ma... the lump in her appendix was an infection, so she has a drain in her to drain off the infection. I know, not a very appealing picture, and her body is only responding to one certain drug to fight it, and for that they need a pic line in her. So, she had a couple options for continued care, and we're opting for a hospice type center in the same town she lives in, and it has a great reputation. We'll have to wait until Monday now to move her, then I'll go down, drop my Tahoe off at where my sister works and pic up her little RAV-4. Ma can get in and out of that the best because it's not very high, then I'll run her down to the new place and then drop my sisters RAV back off and pick up my truck. A lot of messing around but, Ma's are worth it. I'll put on close to 300 hundred miles driving before I get back home.
Think I'll run up to walmart today and buy me a new non stick fry pan. My old one is getting pretty cruddy, and all the non stick stuff has been peeling for awhile.

When I was a kid, there were certain foods I said I didn't like and so I refused to eat them. When I grew up, I became more willing to try or retry foods I didn't like and I discovered that some of the foods I "didn't like" was more because I had been unwilling to try them to begin with, or my mom had just cooked them badly. Eggplant is a perfect example of my mom not knowing how to cook it. I never liked eggplant. Then, shortly after I got married, my wife made an eggplant parmigiana that was really good. I still don't like most eggplant dishes and wouldn't order it in a restaurant, but there are certain ways to cook it that I will eat.
I will try virtually anything once and there are very few foods I won't try again. I had raw sea urchin sushi twice and both times it was so horrible that I just about vomited so that is one food I won't try again. I also won't do straight shots of tequila but I do like a margarita now and then. I like hot peppers a lot but I wouldn't eat an entire one of these insanely hot peppers that are on the market these days (think things like ghost peppers and hotter), but I can (and do) eat pickled habanero's straight from the jar. hotter than that, and it just tears up your insides.
To be honest, a great sweet-potato pie with whipped cream and real bourbon vanilla ice cream is my absolute favorite!
Why would you want a vegetable with icecream?
Sweet potato pie is a southern staple in this country as a desert, looks a lot like pumpkin pie.
