That food looks wonderful. The gravy and vegetables look super good. Cannot see the meat that well, but it's safe to assume it is a cut of beef. Looks very rich and tasty.
Nice, there are a lot of people your age who will not even try them. I did not love them until I was about 16 years old. Before that, I thought they were gross. I was so wrong!
Oh wow, hmmmm, then your creativity remains. I'm still very creative at my "old" age, but not as creative as I was back in my younger days. Anyways, being perceived as young is a compliment....even if it's not based on visual aids, lol.
