But I was never a picky eater and I don't think I ever turned up my nose at things in the end. The above line was mostly directed at my sister, who only ever wanted mac and cheese.

Not sure what we'll do tonight. Mr Gfunk will probably want take out.

Ooh, or I could get salad and potatoes and grill some burgers with the ground beef or bison in the freezer.
