I share so many of those aversions, too, except, I guess the oysters, though there are so few of them here in Iowa that I sometimes forget whether I like them or not. :)<br /><br />I could not make my aversion poem (in this case, my first time skinning a rabbit) well, palatable for your comment section, so I think I won't share it here. Maybe that is "performance art" on the theme of aversion?Steve Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793183473454298123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578454697877614703.post-66861673740817267912015-04-12T07:07:34.246-04:002015-04-12T07:07:34.246-04:00Heh.
