Michele is telling Katy and me about her brother’s smoker machine, which allows you to make smoked meats.
Michele: “Actually, you can smoke all kinds of stuff in it. It’s awesome.”
Katy: “Like veggies and stuff?”
Kris: “Anything except cherries, right?”
Michele: “Oh yeah, we tried smoking cherries. They were completely disgusting. I bit into one and then gagged it back up.”
Kris: “And you KNOW it’s disgusting if Michele will only try it once. Usually she’ll go back to make sure.”
Michele: “Totally.”
Katy: “Wow.”
Michele: “I did try putting it in a drink later, since that’s what they’re supposed to be used for. Still gross.”
We laugh a little.
Michele: “And then I took a bite of the one in the drink, just to see if that changed anything.”
Katy: “Just in case the initial gag reflex was due to some unrelated thing?”
Michele: “Well, you never know.”
