Food Palate.

I am so grateful for being older and becoming an adult. Yes, there are many added responsibilities and expectations but there are so many privileges obtained, maturity, and knowledge as well that are just as important and really help me appreciate life a little bit more.

One thing that I have clearly noticed is that my food palate has grown so much. I am open to trying so many new foods and cuisines and I love it. I was a pretty picky eater ever since I was young. I mean, I am still hesitant to some things now but I am now more willing to try things that I have never before. It is so great to not be scared to eat certain things. If that makes sense. I hated seafood when I was younger but now, I love it! I am a big fan of salmon, cod, tilapia, halibut, shrimp, and crab. I would have never eaten these things 2 years ago. I also love Thai and Indian food. And I just love food in general so now, I have more options. I am hoping to try more new things as this summer goes on and maybe even cook them myself. Then, I can go back college in the fall with new skills and recipes.

So, I am just really grateful that my taste buds have grown and developed and are now open to many new kinds of food. It's nice to not be limited and have the opportunity to try "something better" and new.
