My mother didn't like vegetables, herself. So she never bought any. We ate mac and cheese and hamburger meat all the time.

My friend's mother forced me to eat lima beans once. I nearly threw up all over her. I don't mind 'em now, if they're fixed tastily.

I don't force the boys to eat things they don't like, but I do ask them to take one bite and try it.

Did you add raisins to the celery? My girls love ants on a log!
Once my dad made me try cherry pie. He learned to regret that decision, I've not had a cherry since.

Christine can tell you I am the biggest picky eater around. Thankfully, my kiddos actually like foods I don't.

When I worked at Walmart there was a nasty smell coming from my department. After days of the smell getting worse and none of the managers dealing with it I went on a hunt. Turns out someone stuffed a package of cow tongue down into my shoe risers. It was nasty! I can't even look at them in the freezer case to this day.

This is so funny because my mom was cooking this tonight! LOL! I hated then and I hate it now. I don't want to taste anything that can taste me. Ha!

My mom would just give us a variety of vegetables each night and we ended up liking just about everything. She never made a big deal out of it.
Our kids are not picky eaters. Its fun to see them starting to like foods they stayed away from when they were smaller (i.e. feta cheese, avocado, greens, tomatoes, etc).
Happy Day!

I have one really bad memory of being made to eat an egg salad sandwich. My mom was watching The Wrath of Khan on our kitchen tv and it was at this really gross part where something was coming out of someone's ear. Anyway...

My oldest is the only picky one right now. I have a rule that he *has* to taste everything. Other than that, I don't push it. Oddly enough, he likes celery too. Go figure.

ps. I hate eggplant.

Hey there! Well, my dad tricked me into eating something! You see, when I was younger, my parents only ate Miracle Whip for mayonaise. I hated the stuff!! Wouldn't touch it! So one day, my dad was eating celery. He had put peanut butter on it ( which I liked) and then he added some white stuff on top...which he told me was whip cream! Well what kids would turn down whip cream???!?!?!?!? So I took a HUGE bite! And what a surprise I got... yep... it was Miracel Whip!!!!!! Everyone laughed, but me! I still will not eat Miracle Whip... its Helman's or nothing!!!!!!!
I make my kids try stuff, but if it gags them.. I won't force the issue!

I was a very picky eater when I was growing up. I didn't learn to like new things until I was in high school and college and found myself in situations where I didn't feel comfortable saying "Yuck!". So I ate it and found out it was good! There's still a lot of things on my "I don't eat that" list - like mushrooms. "Ewwww!" And definitely tongue.

I grew up in the mountains in the North East. So deer, rabbit, squirrel, pheasant and all kinds of fresh water fish were commonplace at the dinner table. I don't eat any of those now except fish. Sometimes though I get a craving for deer balogna (baloney).

One of my kids is a garbage disposal when it comes to eating just about anything. My other kid's nickname is geyser!

Hey, Marsha!
I have been thinking of you, and wondering how your family is doing. It is so wonderful to see your smiles and to see that laughter returning to your home.
It breaks my heart to think of how much you miss your sweet Christian, and I just wanted to let you know that you can mention him as much as you'd like! I love to see his videos and read about the wonderful memories that you have of him.
May the Lord continue to abundantly bless your entire family,
Rebecca

I don't remember being made to eat thing but I had to try. I do the same for my kiddos. Actually my boys like brocolli with lemon butter. Our favorite. They are also salad eaters. One son tries everything and one says "no way" all the time.

If they don't like it one way, I try it another.

My mother always cook according to my father's likes. There were many vegetables she just never made. I am now trying to learn how to cook them that taste cook and are healthy. It's hard since I don't really know how they should even taste- things like artichokes, okra, even asparagus.

As far as the Creation museum, not many hints. You can get through it in a day. Wish it was bigger. We did the two planatarium shows- they were good. We were there on a snowy day so there was hardly anyone there. The food place right as you come in sells drinks that you can then go back and refill. It is just a remarkable museum- one totally full of the truth and amazement of God's creation, etc. Getting a more realistic grasp on Noah's ark is neat, too.Everyone that works there, too was just so kind and encouraging to a large family. I hope you have a wonderful time at both the museum and Great Wolf.(... and your conference). My children love Great Wolf Lodge. My youngest calls it "The water house" and still talks about it at random moments.
