Dietzzz

I have come to the realization recently that several members of my inner circle have extremely odd ( gross) eating habits.
Janie: My sister has sort of a garbage disposal mentality. She makes horrifying combinations that make the average persons stomach churn. Honestly, It's the stuff of horror movies. I will walk you through an average "Janie Korn" menu.

• Breakfast: Apple sauce with raisins and pretzel rods.
  
• Lunch: bread and pretzels. Perhaps a bit of dry cereal on the side. Another option is lettuce leaves with cold pasta sauce sprinkled with feta cheese and turkey.
• Dinner: cucumbers dipped in terriyaki sauce or wilted lettuce doused in a puddle of soy sauce ( "the soy sauce covers the taste of rot!") with raw white onions and more cucumbers

Janie also favors delicacies such as croutons, pickle and ketchup sandwiches, tuna fish juice, mustard sandwiches, sugar free popsicles, and bread salad.

Last Monday Janie made a giant tupperware container full of steamed vegetables to be eaten throughout the week. Yesterday I opened it and discovered it to be completely rotten and foul. The stench was unbearable and a thick layer of sludge lined the bottom of the container. My concern is that because of Janie's chronic stuffy noses and nasal problems that she would have continued to eat these veggies had I not intervened.

Lisa has a diet entirely comprised of foods that are either tan, beige, white, brown or orange.
Example: frosted wheat cereal, gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce, potato pancakes with sour cream, sun chips with corn salsa, french fries, ranch dressing, easy mac, fried rice, donuts, gyros, fried chicken wrap, diet coke.
I think the reason that this diet is noteworthy is that (except for the diet coke) everything is over 2,000 calories per square inch, yet Lisa remains beautifully skinny and waifish. I am so jealous.

Matt, like Janie is also a fan of mixing foods. He once managed to make a Giordanos deep dish pizza totally unappetizing. He ordered it with Jalapenos, artichokes and pineapple.

My mom used to eat at least 4 entire lemons per day.

Ellina eats the same chipotle chicken burrito 5 out of the 7 days of the week.

Despite all of their oddities, I am very thankful I have friends and relatives who stray from the norm. And truth be told, I know for a fact that my eating habits are considered disgusting (mainly by Lisa) who asked me yesterday why I was eating birdfood ( actually brown rice with lentils) and who can't seem to understand my need for always having the fridge stocked with hummus ( her mortal enemy).
