Anything crawling or with legs and antennae - forget it. I'd likely starve or eat roots first. I like the cooler weather up north as we get fewer 'bugs' to bug me. Bieber, like Brittany, and a few others just don't match up to other performers (think Springsteen, or SRVaughn). Those awards are usually presented by others in the industry or voted on by the fans. Doesn't impress me as I dislike that type of EMO music. But a BOTBs choices is up to the blog owner, and does introduce us to things we might avoid. . .D.G.

Over the years I continued to try it and now I love it and often crave it. I always keep a big can of menudo in my cupboard for when the craving hits and then I'll eat all 3 1/2 servings after I open it since my wife won't touch the stuff.<br />I've heard about the durian fruit, but I don't think I've tried it. Though it may have been cooked into a Thai dish I had one time. The dish smelled weird, but it tasted good.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-22852227473533756202016-05-23T16:33:37.208-07:002016-05-23T16:33:37.208-07:00Some tastes are acquired, and most appreciated whe...Some tastes are acquired, and most appreciated when we've come to discover them on our own, over time, instead of because everyone told us to try such and such a food, movie, singer, or book. Foods I love now but used to find disgusting include stuffed grape leaves, eggplant, mustard, and certain ways of preparing cabbage. Probably the most obvious off-putting food which tastes pretty good when given a chance is durian fruit. It really does smell like rotting meat when cut open and exposed to the air, but the actual taste isn't anything like that.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-91194184676553947312016-05-23T15:17:57.060-07:002016-05-23T15:17:57.060-07:00Michele, for a few million dollars there are many ...Michele, for a few million dollars there are many things that I'd do that normally I wouldn't do.<br /><br />I don't like what I've heard about Kanye West, but I decided to give his music a listen for the purpose of writing this post.

I would never in a million years do it. No way, no how. Well, maybe for a few million dollars I might... But that's unlikely to happen so suffice it to say that I will never ever eat anything live!<br /><br />I'm not very adventurous in music. The Battle of the Bands has introduced me to so many new-to-me bands and I'm grateful for the introductions. I'm stuck in the 70s.

Bison is almost like venison I guess, but it's also like beef. My wife wouldn't try bison either and when I was going to order a bison burger last summer she requested that I not do it so I complied to her wishes. We were in Yellowstone and had seen bison roaming around so eating the meat bothered her.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-33985386907198635992016-05-23T13:27:11.448-07:002016-05-23T13:27:11.448-07:00Susan GK, but people can change.

His album has some pretty good messages as well. But I don't pay much attention to a person's background until it starts getting attention in the media. I would not support the singer formerly known as Cat Stevens because of what he supports, but on the other hand I never cared for his music anyway and never bought any of his earlier albums.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-4271244980996735552016-05-23T13:22:53.854-07:002016-05-23T13:22:53.854-07:00Yvonne, hope all is well for you.
