Whole30 Day 26: An extra benefit
So today is 26 days in. And you know what I discovered today? Pecans taste good. Not just good, not just nice like other nuts, but good with a rich, sweet flavor that I never noticed before. I think that getting rid of the preservatives and the sugar has let my taste buds really taste real food. I tasted the nuances of pecans, the slightly bitter peel and the fatty, sweet inside. It's better than red velvet cake. I never thought I would think so.

Last night I thought I'd pig out.
I had a small handful of raisins and a few bits of dried pear.
I felt like I'd raided a candy shop. This stuff's better though. Didn't feel sick afterwards.
I've chalked up my changing tastes to getting old but now that you mentioned it I rarely eat anything with sugar here (in Vietnam) and that may be why I now love peppers and broccoli and a bunch of other good stuff.
Roast them a little. They're even better warm.
