I tried cucumber mint kombucha for the first time. I don't think cucumber is a strong enough flavor to run with the natural taste of kombucha.

I find myself doing the same thing all the time. And not trying enough new things. Quell rut, y'all.

Gonna be challenging me to try something new at least once a week.

I bought an instant pot, so everything I cooked in it was new. I hard boiled eggs in it last night for the first time. Turned out perfectly.

Now that I’m older, it’s tougher to find new things to try. I mean there are things I’m really not going to do. Bungee jumping is out. Hard boiling eggs in a pressure cooker? That’s in. :joy:

Don't give up on bungee jumping! You could do both, jump while holding the InstaPot.

I did bungee jumping once (well bungee being pusheding more like, as I was too scared to jump myself), it was kind of fun but fucking terrifying. Years later, I read a story about a young woman who did the same jump and the cord snapped! :scream::scream::scream::scream::scream::scream::scream::scream::scream::scream::scream::scream::scream:

Suffice to say, I'm never repeating that experience again.

No. LaFemme is not bungee jumping. That’s a big no. Terrified of heights, bad back, I’m not even supposed to vacuum - doubt my surgeon would approve bungee jumping. I’ll stick with cooking new stuff! Traveling to new places. Stuff that might not need medical intervention. :)

A few days ago at our favorite German restaurant, as I enjoyed my regular Schnitzel with a delicious Klokke Roeland, I dared to taste my wife's liverwurst on rye sandwich. I had never tried liverwurst before. It was tasty!

I can't think of anything.. but I'm not bothered by it. I'm a creature of ritual, and breaking it just tends to stress me out.

If I travel, I get overwhelming social anxiety. The only actual vacation I ever went on, we left early and skipped the main event because both of us just wanted the fuck out.

That's not to say I always hate new things, I just don't go out of my way to experience them.

I don't even count food, I'll eat/have eaten anything and everything I get my hands on.. but eating isn't something I do occasionally. I do that everyday, so in my mind trying new foods doesn't qualify as doing something new. It's just doing something I always do, just a slightly different flavor.

I started Weight Watchers today. I'm pretty excited. I chose the digital + studio.

Counting calories and macros on my own just wasn't cutting it. This year has been a dietary struggle, for every good day there's been a bad. I needed a kick in the pants.

Plus, I wanna video chat with Oprah when I lose 20 pounds.

Sunday I went to a Sufi house of prayer.

About a year and a half ago, I took my first Yoga class. Real men don't take yoga, right? WRONG!!!

One of the hardest physically challenging things I've ever done. I was wiped completely out when we finished.

Not one to give up or give in, I kept at it. Best thing I've ever done for myself. Dropped my blood pressure from borderline high to textbook numbers. MY GP was duly impressed at my last checkup!

Done correctly, Yoga is hard. I have a class tonight...yay!

I went out of the house a few days ago wearing two different kinds of shoes and didn't notice anything. O.k., the shoes were both black (but with different pattern) and looked very similar. But I really laughed about myself when I came home and checked what had happened!

Omg. I’ve done that. Thought I had developed a limp halfway through the day though since one heel was slightly different. Somebody noticed though, and I got called two-tone for awhile. :eek:

It’s not recent...but a while back I tried jumping on a trampoline. It was a lot harder than it looks and way to strenuous on my knees.
