Conversely, foods I used to eat daily (tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, carrots) are foods that I don't like any longer. I can eat them, but unless they're covered in anything to mask the flavor, I don't like them.
What gives?
I can relate reading this. I hated vegetables all my life but since I have been on a plant base diet I know crave them. So friggin weird. Oh and 🥩 steaks, beautiful delicious, savory steaks which I have LOVED all my life I can barely eat. Seriously 😳.
I had the same thing when i switched to a plant based diet.
When I was a vegetarian for 5-yrs in my 20s, I'd never been so ill. When I returned to eating meat (beef mostly), I became healthy. Although, does "plant based" mean vegetarian/vegan? Or, just that it's the bulk of the diet?
I love fruit, but hate veggies, except lettuce & potatoes, which I'm not liking much, atm either... what's happening? Have always eaten vegs, but have that face of a kid being forced to eat liver & onions followed by a broccoli-tree bark shake.
Luckily, I eat alone.

@r3d_butt3rfly_
I've been waiting to see you around to show you this majesty!
I put it beside a sheet of paper to try to give reference.
I adore this plant!
And night time! I love how it follows the light during the day and closes at night.
...reminds me I have to write the vendor a great review.9 -

"Purple Shamrock" (oxalis triangularis)
good summary:
https://www.easytogrowbulbs.com/blogs/plant-care/low-maintenance-houseplants-oxalis-triangularis
My grandmother had a few, which my mom has now - they are hard to kill, and very low maintenance - and fun to look at. They follow the sun during the day, if you rotate them during the day, they move too. They close up at night, and open with day break.
I found a great vendor on etsy. If you are in the US they are quite inexpensive, I had to double the price for import fees, but was well worth it.
Funny aside...I was looking for this particular plant and bought what was being sold as it on Amazon...took 1 month to arrive - I eagerly planted the seeds - and it was lawn clover...a weed. I still grew it, 'cause it was kinda cute, but man was I disappointed.5 -

Indeed. Fortunately, for every gnarly sprout that should burn in Valhalla today if not sooner, there are melons, the food of the gods & goddesses.

I work in the background check industry, specialize in education. With all the schools closed down I have absolutely nothing to do and I’m bored out of my mind. I’ve become addicted to watching tiktok videos at my desk 😂3

You have to do what you have to do to get by. Far worse ways to spend your time.0 -
