Special posting...the likes and dislikes of the author

I feel like i have been neglecting my blog lately. I enjoy it very much so just because i am not going out to dinner as much lately i can still share my foodie thoughts and recipes i have tried with everyone.

I don't have a particular recipe to offer at this time, but one topic that comes up quite often with friends/family/acquaintances is my declarations of things i don't enjoy. Sorry but if i don't like something, people are gonna hear about it. So for anyone who is interested below is a list of foods i enjoy and others i despise, for those who think i am picky the likes out way the dislikes.
