I guess my question is, “How does one admit when asked that he or she is good at something without feeling like a braggart?”

Last night I ate cookie dough and didn’t brush my teeth before going to bed. My breath is awful this morning. My mouth tastes like onions for some reason.
I think I’m going to invent some avocado sandwich this morning. But it takes planning. It’s hard to find good recipes where the primary ingredient is avocado.
