I have a problem. Whew! I admitted it! That's step one right? No, it's not what you're thinking. I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I'm not a closet gambler or even a hoarder. Admittedly, I have a tiny OCD-ish tendency with regards to my pantry and towels hanging evenly, but really it's not a problem (just ask my hubby and kids). No, the problem that I've recently had to admit to is pink frosting. I can't do it. I simply cannot force myself to eat something covered in pink frosting. It immediately causes the gag reflex to go into overdrive.
A few weeks ago I attended the birthday party of a friend's granddaughter. My friend's daughter handmade the most adorable little piggy cupcakes much like those in the picture here. They were so cute and they were handmade, which in my world translates to super yummy! Except... Pink frosting. I kept going back to the tray intending to savor just one of those little confections and then I'd walk away trying not to allow everyone else in attendance watch my personal struggle. I left that day having to acknowledge that I've got a problem. With pink frosting. I'm not kidding. Do you suppose there's a support group for those with an aversion to unnaturally colored foods? Did I mention I also struggle with blue M&M's? Not the yellow, not the green, just the blue.
What bizarre food issues do you have? Can you admit to an issue that no one else within your scope of friends and family suffers from? Do you gag a little at the thought of something that most people love crossing your very discerning lips? Let's chat...
