Today, a short post on something very simple: trying foods you dislike a second or third time. This came to me a week or so ago when I got my CSA box. In it were cherries. I’ve never liked cherries. I always liked cherry flavoring. [...]
I spent two of my last three weeks on the road, flying back and forth from Philadelphia for some training for work. I also did a 1.5 year stint as a traveling consultant - out on Monday, back on Thursday - so I developed some strategies for mitigating the damage that eating out constantly [...]
