For the first time in my life, I spit out some of my mother's home cooked food into the garbage. She asked me to try it, and I did. It looked delicious. It was slow-cooked beef stew. We were going to give it as a gift to some friends of ours. The tender chunks of meat were cushioned on a bed of glistening, roasted tomatoes. Little bits of spices hung on the carrots that looked as delicate as autumn flowers. And I spit it out. I spit it into the garbage and washed my mouth out with water. "That" I said as I wiped my mouth on a bit of towel "Was one of the most bitter things I have ever tasted." "That's weird" said my mother. "Maybe you just got a bay leaf." "Probably" I said, "I'll try another spoonful." As soon as it touched my tongue, I knew this bite would be worse than the first. I spit it out and gagged into the garbage. "That is disgusting" I said. The strange thing is, the stew looks like the most delicious thing in the world. I knew from previous stews that there was not one thing in there that I did not like. "I'll try it" my mother said. She took a clean spoon and dipped it into the surface of the tomatoes. She took a little bit of meat too. She chewed it for a while. "That is SO bitter!" She repeated this many times. Finally she reached breaking point. She started to cry.
I am really not the best in this kind of situation. What I should have said was something like "Oh we can fix it somehow." What I did say was "Well, at least we didn't feed it to our friends." As a mentioned. I am really bad in these situations.


I am going to cut that story short right there. Feel free to leave replies on how much of a smart-ass I am. I can take it.
