How could I have been so wrong?

I love salad..
My husband brought his mother home a salad about a month ago.
It was called a Michigan Nut Salad. It was beautiful, very colorful.
Romaine lettuce
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped walnuts
Chopped egg
Chopped red onion
Feta cheese
Raisins
 
It was beautiful, but for me to eat that...
NO WAY!!
Not sure why but wouldn't be something I would ever try.
To top it he brought raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
YUCK !
Boy was I glad that was not intended for me.
 
Now I love to eat. I don't consider myself fussy at all but
somehow the thought of that salad and especially the dressing
was just repulsive.
 
I think the only quirk I have when it comes to eating is:
Cake and ice cream
Pie and ice cream
I like both of these but they must be in separate dishes.
I know silly hugh?
 
Well for some reason Eleanor didn't want to eat that salad.
She said she'd have it tomorrow.
I had a tremendous urge come over me and the next morning
I had to have that salad for breakfast, with that raspberry vinaigrette 
dressing.
It was absolutely delicious!!!
My husband has been bringing one home at least 3 times a week
since.
 
How could I have been so WRONG???
 
I am using that as one of life's lessons.
 
There use to be an ad on TV. I can't remember what it was for but the
tag line was,   "Try it, You'll like it."
In 2008 I intend to be doing things that I would never would have attempted
before. And if I hesitate I'll think of that Michigan Nut Salad and the mantra,
"Try it, You'll like it."
