Hold on to your hats folks, this is amazing. This is along the lines of the dill pickle picture earlier. As long as I have known Dave, he has NEVER eaten cooked carrots. I have heard the story so many times about when he was little and his dad made him eat cooked carrots and he puked, that I've never even made cooked carrots. I guess maybe in a roast or in soup or something but he's kind of become an expert on avoiding them or taking a big bite of something else so he doesn't really taste them. But Zach loves cooked carrots so I thought I should just make them once. I thought, when I saw him take a big spoonful of them, that he was being a really good sport. When he took a second helping, I didn't really say anything because I was so surprised. By the third helping, I couldn't contain myself and blurted out something like What are you doing? He said, I don't know, they're kinda good with salt and pepper. It's like I've said to my children (thank you for this phrase, Laura): taste buds can change!
Cooked carrots, NO WAY!!!!! Dave I'm so proud of you, & btw (by the way) you look so skinny!
