I. Ate. Cottage. Cheese!

This might not seem like a big deal to many people. But those that know me, know that this is a food that I really dislike. However, I can actually say that in the past tense because I ate cottage cheese for lunch today and I actually liked it!

I got a new cookbook (Come Hungry by Melissa Ben-Ishay) and as I was paging through it, the picture of this Cucumber and Cottage Cheese Toast looked so yummy that I felt compelled to make it for lunch. Despite the fact that I have centered my identity on the fact that I hate cottage cheese.  

And let me tell you, it was so delightful! The bread was pan fried to a perfect crispiness and the cucumbers were tangy and dilly and the cottage cheese added a creamy barrier between the two. I will definitely make this again, maybe even tomorrow. 

Now I'm going to have to choose a different food that I don't like so that I have an answer if anyone ever asks me what my most hated food is.
