Hmmm... I don't like cucumbers or watermelon. Cucumbers I can eat.
Watermelon I can not.

Tonight my mom was sick so I got prepared foods from the organic market at
the other end of town where they live. Cooked chicken breast, pakoras,
falafel, two kinds of rice, corn, vegetable salad and three little cakes. A
gluten free one for Angela. I didn't eat everything. Can't say that I care
for parokas. I had them before and didn't like them either. I like all of
the ingredients. It's the seasoning that puts me off. Too sweet or
something. It has been several hours and I am still tasting it. And the
salad? Never again. I thought it had celery on it so I took a lot of that
part and it turned out to be cucumber! Bleh. The greens were just waaaay
too bitter. My dad didn't like it either. Angela and my mom refused to
touch it. And I had forgotten but the last time I got it, it grew. It was
as though they packed it tightly in the container and when you try to serve
it, it jumps up at you and seems to refill itself. My dad had a paper bag
and he said if he tried to put it in there it would probably overfill the
bag. It was good for a joke but not good for eating.
