Pot Pie Remark
E-MAIL CALL
“
So
I tried them. Not bad. Great little things. But
the veggies made the kids cringe. What to do? In the
picture, you'll see 2 stacked on each other and a few on the side of
the picture not stacked. The stacked ones are the recipe as
written. The others, I pureed the heck out of the veggies and
mixed them in. No veggies, no fuss. Kids ate veggies and
didn't even know it!
Sooo, it's child abuse to say, "Listen, precious, veggies are a necessary evil like bedtime, school, and, apparently, Marxist presidents. So eat them now or no dessert."??? You went to all the trouble to screw up a perfectly good recipe instead of just having the kids do something beneficial for them? What else do your kids decide for themselves? UG.
Actually Merrily, it didn't screw anything up. The flavor was just as good in the second batch and they disappeared faster than an anti-Clinton witness. As for trouble, 30 seconds in a blender is hardly trouble. I found out this weekend that it works in taco meat too.

ReplyDeleteSorry, Chris. You missed my point.
ReplyDeleteNah, I got your point. You were telling me that you think I'm a crappy parent. Which is fine.
