Presentation is Everything

Even though we are blessed with a "good-eater", Meghan's list of likes and dislikes often baffles me. During her last visit, my mother told me that, as a child, I would only eat chilli (now one of my favourite foods by the way) if she told me it was "camping chilli". She'd just make a large batch of plain, old, regular chilli and store it in fancy jars. That gave me an idea.

For the last 2 nights, under the guise of "Halloween food", I've gotten Meghan to eat things from her dislikes list. Last night she ate mashed-potato ghosts (shaped with a cookie cutter). Tonight, it was sloppy joes (arranged to look like a snake). Tomorrow, I'm going to try "pumpkin fries" (sweet potatoes shaped by a pumpkin cookie cutter)...

Parade of Costumes

As Halloween approaches, Meghan continues to accumulate costumes. Now we have to figure out how to tell her that she's going out for Trick-or-Treat in last year's (extremely warm) unicorn costume. Wish us luck!
