While making dinner last night, I was looking for a vegetable that I could cook fast. I had two beautiful yellow (summer) squash in the refrigerator that I had purchased on Wednesday. I decided to chop them up quickly and cook them in the microwave (something I do often when in a hurry). I put the chopped up pieces in a bowl with a little bit of water and before I covered it, I ate a piece (I was starving)! It was HORRIBLE. I leaned over the sink and spit it out. I was rinsing my mouth with water and practically gagging. (My husband found this pretty amusing.) I ran into the bathroom and tried some Listerine...I HAD to get rid of the awful taste on my tongue. It had coated my tongue and I couldn't get rid of it. I don't even know how to describe it. It was bitter, horrible, bad. No odor, but awful taste. My tongue was just coated with this horrible taste. I tried scrubbing it with toothpaste and a toothbrush and it help a little, but the taste was still there. Finally, I drank some red wine (lol - right out of the bottle). That finally killed the taste. (Wine cures all.)
Really though, what an awful experience. I am SO thankful that I didn't feed that to my children (toddlers).
Has anybody ever experienced anything like this before? I'm not even sure what caused it. It looked and smelled fine. SO strange. Sometimes after yellow squash sits for a while, it gets brownish spots on it (which I would normally just cut off). But these were beautiful. I was thinking about how nice, bright and yellow they were while I was cutting them.
(You guys must have a great imagine of me, with my burnt bundt cake, hanging over the sink, spitting out food and drinking wine out of a bottle! lol)
