I've run dry the last two weeks or so, and sadly it's due to lack of time rather than material. The good news is I have at least two more posts on tap this week. This one will be short before bed.
So two weeks back we're having a nice family dinner with stir-fried veggies-- snow peas, broccoli, and cauliflower, and maybe carrots. Alex, our 3-year-old, isn't so into them so we get the brilliant idea that the snow peas are green, alien tongues and the carrots are alien fingers, which makes her laugh and gets her more interested. She starts putting snow peas in her mouth and wiggling them on her lips like a tongue then slurping them up and a similar story with the "fingers." Now this is certainly not the path to perfect Miss Manners table etiquette, but given the choice between her eating healthy vegetables and gaining the approval of high society matrons, I'm going with the veggies. High society can kiss green, alien booty...
And I wish you all a fine evening...
