A dining disaster

[elfs]

Well, dinner wasn't a complete disaster. I tried to cook Lemon and Thyme Lamb Chops with Spinach and Sweet Corn Mashed Potatoes, but the girls wouldn't eat either. I don't like corn! I don't like meat! And I hate anything green stuff!" Kouryou-chan insisted. Yamaarashi-chan just held her silence, ate the lamb, and left the veggies and starch untouched. Ah, well. It was a nice combo too; wish I'd had some mint jelly to go with it.

Grr. There has to be a way to get more into these girls than mere hot dogs and spaghetti.

Well, there's always the "This is what we're having for dinner, and the kitchen's closed" approach. And there's the "You have to eat ONE bite of everything" approach in combination with the above. I'm told (by an experienced parent) that they work well.

Those never worked on me. I was too smart, and knew that my parents loved me too much. They'd just make me a bigger breakfast when I asked them nicely in the morning. ;)

Some people say that if you change a cat's cat food too often it can become finicky. In this respect, pets are like children. But if you perservere, I'm sure they'll realize how yummy mashed potatoes are.
