Ahhhhh cooking for the family....

Yes, cooking for picky, picky eaters.... Always a fun experience! PF will eat anything I put in front of him because, 1. he loves me? 2. he is afraid of my wrath 3. I have other ways of torture....I will leave that to your imagination. Now, for the children (teenagers and young adults) forget about it!!!!! Why did you put onions in this? Why are there gross peppers in here? Yuk, tomatoes... These were a few of the comments I got this morning in my feeble attempt to make a "different" breakfast. So, I will go back to the old standbys......the usual fare.......#3 son likes eggs, but only with cheese and it has to be a special kind of cheese. He also likes raisin bran crunch, once again it HAS to be the brand name, not the store brand...remember we have Asperger's and this is one of his quirks. Right now "we" are liking Raisin bran crunch, morning, noon, and night, with dabs of peanut butter thrown in. Now I digress....son #4 thinks anything with green color or red or orange or pink or well, get the picture? He believes it will take him down to the depths of hell.....poison food..... So, I tried something "different" I'll do this again in a few months so stay tuned for those results.....till then.... Now I will go do my walk thing and expunge this morning from my mind.............................

Ahhh, Lindy, ya just gotta love family! We had a small family barbeque yesterday and my adult son and his girlfriend just "picked" at their food. Darn it all anyway, I am NOT a short order cook and if you don't like the onions in the baked beans, then pick them out!! I will admit I was kinda happy when everybody packed up and went home!!

There are days (and I'm sure you have them too) when I feel that no matter what I do, no one ever appreciates ANYTHING!! And with that, I think it's time for a pain pill and a nap....LOL.

I think it might be a boy thing? My daughter would have eaten it, even if it tasted like puke (I think).
