A dining disaster
Apr. 14th, 2005 07:38 pmWell, 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.

Date: 2005-04-15 01:45 pm (UTC)My niece and nephew were the same way; my sister was happy to get them to eat ANYTHING. They've just started university and turned out fine - nephew is slender but well proportioned and can hold his own in his PT job as an Electrician's Assistant. Niece EJ has always been, uh, plump but here health issues (suspected rheumatoid arthritis) have nothing to with past nutrition.
My sister's experience raising her kids has been that they're pretty indestructible. And I didn't like veggies either and I'm only half crazy.....
