19. The only case I can think of it occuring in this house...

was 26 years ago, before we were married and I was still living in another state. Future husband had just been to visit me for the first time and I had taken him to experience Thai food, also for the first time. He really loved it, and at the time this wasn't a great place for ethnic restaurants, so we went to the grocery and bought him a jar of peanut sauce to take home with him.

We were talking on the phone a few days later while he was putting together his dinner. He browned ground beef and made a box of mac n cheese. He put those together and, hold on to your gag reflex, mix in the peanut sauce. I told him not to, that it wouldn't taste right, but he did it anyway.

While we were still on the phone, he took the first bite and immediately declared it delicious. You know how tasting something sort of catches up to you? The second bite, it was declared horrible, and rightly so.
