Food

What is it about food?  Take goldfish for example.  I can make two little girls happy just by putting a bowl of those little fish in front of them.  Is it because they have smiles on their faces?  The groovy shape?  And how long will this simplicity last?  They really are the snack that smiles back.  And they really make my girls smile, too.  Watching them earlier devour a bowl together while I was trying to get work done.  Sadie would take one from the bowl, give it to Eryn, and then take three for herself.  "Look mommy, I'm sharing!!"

So let's talk about favorite foods or comfort foods.  Mashed potatoes are a common comfort food.  I love me some fried chicken.  There are all kinds of foods out there, fresh, frozen, fried, grilled, even raw.  Junk food like ice cream or oreo cookies.  Yum....is it dinner ready yet?

Sadie is pretty hooked on pirate booty.  People tend to look at her funny when she tells me, "Momma, I want some booty please."  I would recommend it.  It is located in your local grocers organic section.  I would consider it to be a flavored puffed corn.  We have tried the vegetable and cheese flavors. 

I enjoy food, and don't think I have never met anyone that doesn't.  I enjoy cooking it, baking it, and mostly eating it.  And is it just me, or do you crave the foods you aren't allowed to have?  Like popcorn before visiting the dentist.  And the first meal I want to have when I am done nursing Eryn - crablegs and an ice cold beer.  Of course, when you are on a diet, all of the things you aren't supposed to eat are calling your name.... but I think that is written law in the book of wills to see how strong you truely are.

We can't survive without food, no matter what they may tell you on survivor.  You can't tell me that the first person that saw a squid must have been absolutely famished to figure out how to eat all that mess.  Even some flowers are edible I am told. 

So, let's eat!


Ahh....the things my children make me do.... like eat cold food.  I will be glad when the day returns that I can eat a hot meal again.  (Hot meaning I won't have to cut everyones food before eating mine, hence always having a cold plate.  Unless of course we just have ice cream for dinner from now on.  Now there's an idea!)
