Grape Juice

I like grapes, yet I've never really liked grape juice or grape flavoured things. Yesterday I decided to try a box of grape juice with my lunch, just to see if I still felt that way. The first sip and I was like, "Hey, not so bad. Why don't I like this?" And then I kept drinking and I was reminded that, yes, I don't like grape juice. I can't pin it down. I don't enjoy it after the first sip. HEY! This may be classical conditioning. Throughout my life, once a month I have had a very small amount of grape juice with Communion.
Could that be why a regular glass is just weird?
VERDICT: Still not something I'd chose for myself.

Guest Post - Egg Nog

This creamy beverage has been my arch nemesis my entire life - honestly! Year after year my family insisted that I have never tried it, so each Christmas I was forced to try a sip, only to prove time and time again that I do not like it!

This year, I was feeling all grown up and so I decided to try some of my own free will (it was inevitable, and I decided to get it over with early on in the holiday season). It took me a moment to get over that something chickeny or eggy was in the carton with the milk, but Terrell poured a glass and I had a sip. You see, I have recently started to enjoy the occasional glass of 2% milk, and so I though perhaps my change of heart would include 'nog as well (despite the "egg" factor).

My first thought was "hmm...creamy" which quickly changed to yuck. I am not sure what it is, but I don't like whatever is happening in the middle/end of egg nog's taste - is it black liquorice? Some weird and un-enjoyable taste hit my tongue and stayed in my mouth until I chugged a glass of water. Ick.

VERDICT: It's (still) offical. I DO NOT LIKE EGG NOG!
