    I'm going to my brother Scott's house to help with dinner tomorrow.
    He's asked me to come over around 11AM to help with prep and stuff.
    No problem.
    Dinner will be between 2-3PM.

    My oldest brother Paul and his "girlfriend" (at least we think she
    is... she
    lives with him) Audry is coming as well. I met her once, briefly.
    She seems very nice. But she is, according to Scott, the most picky
    eater he's
    ever encountered in his life. Even compared to me! (laughing)

    Wow! I thought I was picky, but I have a reason to be with my food
    allergies. I don't expect people to cater to me though. I will
    often bring my own food if I think they won't have anything suitable,
    or at least bring something large to share with everyone.


    Obviously we aren't catering to her. Food allergies we would certainly make
    allowances for. Any dietary restrictions, we'd make allowances for. This
    level of pickiness, however, is just plain ridiculous.

    Oh, and I didn't mean to sound so gleeful in my original post about the
    cheeses I'd bought which she won't eat. I honestly didn't know until I
    talked with Scott last night *after* I'd bought cheeses for us to snack on
    that she would only eat mild cheddar. Sorry, but I didn't buy mild cheddar.

    I can't imagine how she gets along eating no vegetables. That's just
    sad.

    I'm fussy about not liking raw veggies. It's not so much the taste as it is
    a texture thing with me. But I'll eat just about any cooked veggie there
    is. Guess it's a good thing I didn't plan to bring artichoke hearts... oh
    wait, I have a jar of them I could take with me 😉

    I'm just the opposite. I'll eat pretty much anything raw but potatoes.

    Yeah, but raw potatoes are gross. Cooked potatoes are a joy 🙂

    I always eat a chunk of raw potato when I'm prepping them. Granted, I
    wouldn't want to eat only raw potato, but it's not gross. At least,
    not to me.

    Nope.. me neither. As my mother would prep the potatoes kids were known
    to walk by a grab one (as they would with anything she was cutting up)
    and eat it and she shooed us out of her way. Nothing great about raw
    potatoes, but nothing gross either.

    Have you tried raw artichokes?

    :-)

    Raw potatoes aren't bad. One bite is enough, though.

    If one bite is enough, they can't be too good.
