From the title of this post most of you will probably think this is going to be about one of the kids, instead this is about Susan. When I first met Susan I think the only things she had ever eaten were pizza, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, toast and eggs. It was so bad that shortly after I met her we were talking about something she had never had and I said “that is like saying you have never had Frosted Flakes”. Well it turned out she hadn’t had Frosted Flakes (yes I am talking about the cereal that everyone else in the world has had). So we promptly went out and got a box for her to try.
Since then she has (reluctantly) tried all kinds of new things. She has tried everything from pana cotta to Foie Gras Mousseline. She even regularly eats (and likes) spinach. There have been all kinds of new things that she has tried and loved, which is good because it helps me convince her to try more things. We still have our set backs, like when I wanted to make the pasta fagioli recipe that Lauren sent us this week to try (she was not happy so I haven’t made it…yet), or when she found out that McDonald’s doesn’t have honey for her chicken nuggets any more (this was a major dilemma for her). Overall though, she has been really good about trying new things.
Still I was shocked when she sent me a message this morning asking if we could have cedar plank grilled salmon tacos for dinner. I love trying new foods so I was excited to hear this!
Well…I’m off now to make some fish tacos.

Please let the record reflect the fish taco recipe has been on the counter for about 3 months so I just wanted to get rid of the clutter–besides, it has cheese, avacado and sour cream–what could go wrong??
The record also needs to reflect that she loved the fish tacos. She even asked if she could take the leftovers for lunch.
I don’t know where I went wrong. I don’t even know what most of those foods are.
Don’t worry mom. My comfort foods are still things like good old home cooked burnt cheese toast, and microwave meals.
BURNT CHEESE TOAST!!! THERE’S NOTHING BETTER!!! Oh except the burnt cheese from a squishy grilled cheese. OOO, Maybe I want some of that for lunch.
I don’t think I’ve ever had Frosted Flakes either. I have had fish tacos tho.
Wow. It sounds like we are going to need to bring a box of Frosted Flakes with us when we come
