He’ll Have The Turf, Hold The Surf

Jim doesn’t like seafood.  Silly guy.

This led to my leaving an amusing comment, which I read to Deb at her behest.  She should know better when I use that tone of laugh.

That led her to surmise I would link to it to highlight my own cleverness.

I told her no, I wouldn’t normally do that.  “I think of my comments, even the good ones, as gifts.  You know, like the ones your neighbor’s dog leaves in your yard.”

But seriously, I do hope Sadie has no food allergies or sensitivities to speak of.  For instance, we wouldn’t want her to be un-American by being unable to eat peanut butter.  That would suck.  Which is why I am all for introducing things carefully.

I’d also like her to be openminded about trying things.  We’ll probably eat things we wouldn’t normally, just to provide range.  I can’t wait to be able to make food that is also for her.  I think of that every time I make pancakes, which are my thing to make.  Deb makes superior french toast, so I leave that to her.  Pancakes are so cool when you’re a kid.  I know; I can remember that.

Not a problem if she tries but doesn’t like some things.  We can’t very well make her eat, say, tomato, when Deb doesn’t care for them.  But maybe we’ll have another grilled cheese and tomato fan in the house.

Speaking of things I don’t normally have, I was telling Deb recently that I’d have to make fried eggplant sometime.  And fried zucchini, for that matter.  Which reminds me I haven’t had fried smelts in years, speaking of seafood.  My mother and grandmother used to make all of the above, just not often, and I have made all of them at least once as an adult.

Didn’t mean for this to become a food and child rearing post.  It started out more along the lines of an “overheard in our house” post and went tangential, in a related sort of way.

1. You had me going with the fried eggplant and fried zucchine, but then you had to toss in those farookin’ smelts.  Damn, Jay.

3. Smelts are to seafood as worms are to meat.
   Put them in your garden.

4. Katherine is allergic to shellfish...which just stinks! We found out by accident kind of when we were having her tested for allergies to cats, they just decided to do a whole workup. Glad they did though...shellfish is one of the worst food allerfies to have...right up there with peanutbutter.
