As we shopped around Costco, we walked by a large variety package of noodles and 2 giant bottles of pasta sauce. I said, 'Hey, we should buy these and I can finally try pasta for the first time. Besides it's super cheap!"
So the following night we heated the water to a boil and I measured out the noodles. Then heated the sauce in a small sauce pan. About 10 minutes later we had a huge meal ready to eat. With just the slightest of an open mind, I tried my first bite of noodles. To my surprise, they didn't taste like anything at all. Amazing! I then added an copious amount of sauce and viola! I'm basically eating pizza.. It's appalling to think that I had never tried any kind of pasta before, as it is basically just pizza minus the grease!

Salmon
This is dating back to December 12th, 2015. I already slipped up on my 'once a week' blog posting. Surprise surprise.
On December 12th, 2015 the company I work for hosted a Holiday Party for all of us. Appetizers, entrees and desserts were all served. As everyone surrounded the appetizer Sushi table, I stood back and watched the madness whilst sipping my cocktail. Unable to understand how so many people enjoy this repulsive 'food'. Judging by them smell only, I've already convinced myself I do not like it (I'm very good at convincing myself I do not like things, without even actually trying them).
Anyhow, the night goes on and I'm on my 3rd vodka cranberry when dinner is finally served. Steak. One thing I have always liked without hesitation. As I enjoyed every bite, I noticed my friend next to me had a large piece of salmon. With the help and influence of alcohol, I said to her "can I try that?" Of course she happily offered her fork with a big piece of salmon on the end. Salmon. I still can't get over the fact that I tried salmon, and I didn't hate it. It wasn't fishy, wasn't smelly, just meat. It wasn't the most amazing thing I've ever had, but not completely inedible either. Now I'm one small baby step closer to trying the infamous sushi that everyone adores so. However I'm fairly certain it will require more than 3 drinks to try.
