\"30\"<\/p>\n

There aren’t many foods I don’t like.<\/p>\n

But I do respect other’s food preference, and I try not to push others (except for my own kids if we had any) to eat the food they don’t like.<\/p>\n

If you don’t like it, you don’t like it, and pushing them to eat it doesn’t help.<\/p>\n

The difficult thing about this is that if I like something I want my loved ones to enjoy it with me.<\/p>\n

So when Terry doesn’t like the food that I LOVE, I tend to try a little harder.<\/p>\n

\"33\"<\/p>\n

Terry doesn’t like eggplant very much, whereas, I LOVE eggplant.<\/p>\n

I used to cut eggplant into small pieces and sneak them into his favorite dish, but I stopped doing that because I don’t want him to not trust me.<\/p>\n

Now I tell him everything, what’s in the food he is eating.<\/p>\n

When I found this smaller eggplant, I thought this might work because it had a slightly firmer texture compared to the regular one and it had less and smaller seeds.<\/p>\n

I also cooked the eggplant twice (sauteed first, marinate, and then cooked again with additional seasonings), hoping to add extra layers of flavors.<\/p>\n

\"31\"<\/p>\n

Well, Terry ate, and he liked them.<\/p>\n

Yay!<\/p>\n

The overall taco flavors helped, I’m sure.<\/p>\n

And he was hungry, which I suspect was a big factor.<\/p>\n

But still, it was a happy moment for me!<\/p>\n
