I typically like my food desserts, compared to my just desserts. What is your issue with food desserts? Key lime pies not for you? Tres leches cakes send you into a spiral? Do peach cobblers drive you wild? Is a bowl of ice cream with sprinkles worse than jezebel outside your window?

We all go through this roller coaster. Whether the brainwashed deserve sympathy, or can be changed, or if they should all get ejected like the tuna casserole that hid in the back corner of the fridge for a few months, isn’t a ‘hard answer,’ but a soft, fuzzy direction that we trudge towards, sometimes leaning a bit more one way, and sometimes the other.
I’m lucky, in that my parents don’t open their mouths about their hatreds anymore around me. A few shouting matches were worth it.
