Mmmm Mmmmm Good.
A new favorite even.
I made this last night for the first time:
Every time I try something new, I have my husband rate it on a scale of 1-10.
1=NASTY and we're having cereal instead
10= WOW make it again and I can't wait for leftovers again tomorrow!!!!
My son never rates anything. He's six. He dislikes anything besides hotdogs and pizza. But he's a good boy and eats whatever I give him anyway. It's taken work, and sometimes bribery, and always patience. But he's doing GREAT at eating what he's given. I figure eventually his taste buds will appreciate variety.
Anyway, before I had a chance to ask my husband his rating he offered a 10+
My son (when he f.i.n.a.l.l.y tried his first bite) got all wide eyed and also gave it a thumbs up.
Now that's really saying something.
He ACTUALLY LIKED IT!!!!
So, here it is. I hope it gets a 10+ in your home too. If not, I apologize for getting your hopes up. Kind of like when someone says a movie is the BEST movie EVER and will change your life,.....and you watch it and uh, fall asleep.
