Nancy posted recently asking, "What are you eating?" in a request for recipe suggestions. I was all set to sent her a couple of my favorite summer dishes, one of which I made last night (a hearty pasta salad with chicken, tomatoes, a bit of crumbled bacon) when I realized that both contain mayonnaise. If you don't know already, Nancy hates mayonnaise and when I say "hates", I mean "despises with the heat of ten thousand fiery suns". So no recipes for Nancy today.

But this led me to thinking about something kinda funny, that I don't know if I've ever told Nancy that we do. Whenever we need to buy mayonnaise, like now because I used the last of it in my pasta salad, neither one of us put the word "mayonnaise" on the grocery list. What we write - and what it says right this minute - is "Nancy's bane".

Do you have a food that you hate so much it's a 'bane'?
