Ew?

When I was in middle school, Ashely Gigandet and I were in separable. She lived next door and was in my class so we were pretty much never more than 50 yards from each other. She used to eat pickle and mustard sandwiches everday after school. In the 20+ years since then, I've never know anyone else to share the pickle/mustard obsession.

With Carter's Crohn's disease, his diet is very, very limited. Kate got him hooked on pickles (her first true love) and recently, he got his first taste of mustard. Two great tastes that taste great together? Apparently. Now all he wants for lunch (and sometimes breakfast and/or dinner) is a relish and mustard sandwich. Just as long as you don't ask me to share (yuck!!).
