Knowing Your Wife

Over the last—let’s just say—two years I have gotten to know Leah pretty well and vice versa. But, I learned something really interesting this weekend. There is a variety of things that I know about Leah through osmosis. Friday, after a looong week, we went for ice cream. She asked me, Do you know what my favourite ice cream flavour is? And I was thinking, crap, this is one of those prove my love moments and if I don’t know I am totally screwed. So I thought about it.

I bet you like something gross. Something with nuts in it.

No, it’s delicious.

What is that you are eating now—pralines and cream? That’s gross.

Tastes like heaven.

Osmosis, I tell you. I would never have remembered that fact, but I feel as though I learned it unconsciously. It’s either that or I deduced that Leah likes gross things and therefore her favourite ice cream would be therefore gross.

Here’s a list of things that Leah likes that I think are gross:

  1. Seafood. All of it.
  2. The aforementioned ice cream.
  3. Beets
  4. Oatmeal/porridge
  5. Strawberries. They aren’t really gross, but they aren’t good.
  6. Sushi. I realize this could be in the seafood category but it’s so gross that it needs to be by itself.

That’s all I can currently think of. If I think of something else I will add it in. Also, I didn’t get video or pictures of my blog talk last week. If you are interested, you can read the PDF and see my thoughts on blogging here.

    Rhett, you need to have fresh strawberries from Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. You’re just used to unripe crap from California.

    I can jump on no good strawberry chain, but I must make a case for sushi. I was once a sushi hater like you, but i have been converted. You need to have good sushi made by a real sushi chef (if he looks greek, ask more questions). there is lots of different kinds, try a variety i am sure you will find some you like (i would stay away from the eel ones though).
