| I know, right?! |
There's this whole thing where the food
here is amazing. Everything just seems to taste richer and more
delicious. The colors are more vibrant and it's all cheap, making it
that much more dangerous. The last few days have been a culinary
exploration that I hope to continue throughout the rest of this
summer. The fresh fruits and veggies are unlike
anything I have ever had. Everything is sweeter, juicier, more
natural and more flavorful. I'm discovering that I like fruits and
veggies I didn't like before!
The first morning after my fellow
roommate/interns got here I got breakfast ready for them. I figured
with there bodies out of whack with jet lag and the journey they
might need some sustenance when they woke up. As I was preparing, I
peeled an orange. It was a struggle. I then realized that was because
I've never actually peeled an orange due to my lifelong distaste for them. As I was
peeling, however, I had a thought. Maybe I should try a little
taste just to make sure I don't like them. Well surprise,
surprise. I definitely LOVED it! Have I seriously been wasting the
last twenty years of my life avoiding them?! I am hoping it is just a
combination of the amazing Jordanian fruit and my maturing taste
buds. Needless to say, I had a field day trying a variety of fruits
and veggies that I once thought I disliked but now enjoy. As of today, I
have been converted to oranges, kiwis, bell peppers, apricots
eggplant, and tomatoes. Well, shucks. I guess I have to keep trying
new stuff just to make sure...
