I Suck At Liver And Onions

Yesterday, Karen, our baby daughter (Briana) and I had dinner with Karen's parents. On the menu for dinner: liver and onions. Now, I suck at liver and onions.

Liver and onions happen to be one of Karen's favorite dishes. The meal has been a birthday tradition ever since she was young. So with Karen's birthday quickly approaching (this Friday), her parents invited us over for the traditional birthday meal.

I'm sure a lot of people dismiss eating the meal simply based on their preconceived notions of eating an organ. Luckily, those preconceptions don't deter me from eating. I have a very hearty appetite. Unlike a majority of my friends, I am willing to eat just about anything.

I suppose being Asian helps with that because there are a lot of Asian dishes that do not look visually appealing, but taste great. (There are also Asian dishes that do not look visually appealing and taste awful too.) As a result, I try to never judge a food by its looks or what I imagine it to taste like.

Needless to say, the liver and onions dinner was good. And naturally, Karen enjoyed it as well. I still would like to learn how to make the meal someday. Someday I will have to watch my father-in-law as he makes it.
