There's nothing wrong with green pudding...so there!

Matt is one of those people who eats with his eyes...he's a food bigot. Excuse me, but I'm going to rant today.

All this was started by some innocent & delicious pistachio pudding. I said:
"Hey - I'm going to make some pudding. Would you like some?"
and he said "of course, duh..."
so I said "How 'bout pistachio? It's really yummy, it tastes just like the nuts"
he stops me here and says "I know what a pistachio is...sounds good."
And since I know the man I married, I had to add the disclaimer..."Great...and-it's-green" and with that I made a break for the kitchen...
to which he said "Hell, no. I'm not eating any green pudding. It's not natural!"

I know...if this is the worst of our problems I'm a lucky woman. But there are so many rules:

• no purple foods (red cabbage or eggplant - which I really like)
• double no for eggplant becasue the name creeps him out
• nothing that looks "new" to him (he has volunteered to try new things if I don't tell him & hide it in his food...little does he know he ate feta cheese in the wraps I made us tonight - in the store called it my super gross stinky cheese)
• no broccoli, no cauliflower, no cooked carrots, no brussel sprouts, no rice (and yes I do actually like these things)
• everything "needs" a layer of ranch, mayo, red Tobasco or cheese (I get the cheese...but eeeew - slimy)
• and now, apparently, no green pudding

Oh well, I feel better now...I might even go get seconds of the butterscotch pudding we made instead...

P.S. I love you, Matt!
