Sometimes, it is frustrating. Sometimes it just makes me laugh.
But at the moment, with Boo (6) and Skibo (4) we have no guarantee that either child will eat any particular thing that we put on their plates. It does discourage us from experimenting with new things, and we are delighted when we make something they get excited about.
Actually, the past few days we've been pretty lucky: Skibo insists he doesn't like pasta: but with encouragement he ate a plate of mac and cheese (Anna Thomas "Vegetarian Epicure version) on Friday, a plate of linguini with smoked salmon in a wine, cream, shallot and dill reduction sauce on Saturday: Sunday he ate linguini with a bolognese-style sauce (no minced veal, but a mix of ground beef and pork). And he and Boo insisted yesterday and today that since there was sauce left, they wanted "the same thing as yesterday". Thankfully, the sauce is now finished, and so LOML and I will not get completely bored with it.
Tomorrow I'm planning to put some dough together before I leave for work, let it rise in the fridge, and we'll have pizza for dinner. Finally, a day without pasta.
Yours, cutting and pasta-ing,
N.
