My Cornucopia: Update

Hi there! Just a quick post, because I want to update my "cornucopia". I first posted about it in May, and since then, I have come to like a few more fruits and vegetables. This might not be interesting to anyone else, but it is something I am quite proud of, because I had never been willing to try these things before. The first is green leaf lettuce. I actually like most leafy greens now, but I still am not fond of iceberg lettuce. I decided to add cantaloupe and honeydew melon to my cornucopia. I had eaten them occasionally in the past, but never really cared for them. I ate them again recently, and I actually enjoyed them this time. The next thing I have learned to like is carrots, particularly baby carrots. For the past few months, I forced myself to eat them, and many times I had to spit them out. It wasn't that they tasted bad...they just made me gag. It was like a reflex or something. It was quite a struggle, but now I can finally say that I like them. I also had difficulty with tomatoes, but this was because of the taste. They are still kind of iffy to me and not my favorite, but I still eat them (mostly with other things), and I actually love them chopped up on pizza along with peppers and shredded spinach. And next...cucumbers! Love them! Not much else to say about that. I eat them a lot lol. I also now like sweet potato, snow peas, avocado, red onions, and mushrooms. I actually just tried my first mushroom this weekend! I didn't think it was amazing or anything, but not bad either, so might as well eat them. :) I actually had some more today with my lunch. That's all I can think of right now. Hopefully this continues to grow as I try lots more new things! See ya later.
