Loved Hate

Thank you for the “Food We Hate” issue. I loved it! Particularly Lynda Barry’s “Cookie Monster” story. I guess every family has a funny food story--my one daughter valiantly tries to make “healthy” cookies for her children, i.e., bran, whole-wheat flour, nuts, raisins, honey, etc. Sometimes the results can be pretty straw-like! Once, my 5-year-old grandson, after struggling with one of these rock-hard creations, said, “Gosh, Mom, these taste like punishment cookies!”

P.S. I have always gagged on cottage cheese!
