Resolution: Week 2

My New Year's resolution for 2013 is to eat a new fruit or vegetable every week for the year. 

Last week was eggplant. I will never eat eggplant again. 

This week was radish. I have never had a radish. Not even when my bagged lettuce sneaks them into my salad. 


I always pick them out. (I also pick out the cabbage which I have never tried). 

So...I got a little bag of the cutest radishes I could find. They must be good if they are cute, right? 


Look how little he is on my salad plate.

I sliced one up after my mom said to try a small piece. She said they taste spicy and knows I hate spicy foods. 

I really, really wanted to like radish. They are super cheap (less than $1 a bag!) and that way I could stop picking them out of my bagged lettuce. 

But, I didn't like them. Not even a little bit. They taste like pepper. Pepper on a really gross vegetable. I tried two bites (isn't everyone proud of me?) and spit out the second.


So, week 2 is done. My hope is that after trying 52 different vegetables or fruits, I will like one or two. Eggplant and radish are NOT on the "like" list. 

Next week? I am trying STAR FRUIT.

  2. Thanks Theresa! A few other people have told me that eggplant parm is excellent. But...I am really sensitive to milk so cheese is out for now. And I'm not sure I want to try it without the cheese. Ha!
