I Won't Eat It
i second the tomatoes - it's totally a textural thing, though. Even without the gushy seed parts, sometime's i can't deal with the tomato flesh.
Other things: tuna, apples, berries (except strawberries), any licorice/anise flavored things, root vegetables, beef, ham, green peppers, dried fruits, cooked fruit.
In Season: Cherimoyas
I love Cherimoyas, but I have a hard time finding them - does anyone have recommendations?
Eat for Eight Bucks: Minestrone
My (vegetarian) roommates and I lived off of soup over the summer...a little strange in the hot months, to be sure, but it was a great way to eat cheap, and use a lot of our leftover odds and ends from the Farmer's Market. We definitely made an awesome minestrone or two. Thanks for this recipe - looks great!

About trepidatiousbaker
Location: The Have, CT
About: College student, dealing with sub-par kitchen space and no time, but loves to bake as stress relief. Crazy heritage, lots of good food...learning to cook and learning to eat one day at a time.
Favorite foods: mango, salt, chocolate chip cinnamon cookies, fetuccine, lemons, limes, green beans, caramel, cucumber, cilatro, white chocolate, bananas, pancakes, tex-mex or traditional mexican, cheese, bread, balsamic, octopus, spinach
Last bite on earth: impossible to decide. probably will en dup being something horrible, like cheez-its.

favorite disasters:
1. Not realizing that turkeys need to defrost for ages before you can cook them for thanksgiving (it was for an event in college - we don't make them at home). We ended up slicing them thinly and cooking them on sheet pans - my mom still laughs about this, two years later.
2. When I was about 7, not realizing you couldn't put metal in the microwave (Chinese food container with the little metal handle)
On a more serious note, I love to bake, but I can't seem to make anything well with chocolate...like, chocolate cake is always a bust. Blergh.
