Food fights

Mom and I have had one heck of a time mastering this food thing.  First, she was giving me cantaloupe until friends told her there had been a recall on them.  Whoops!  She tried giving me bell peppers without cooking them up so that they would be sweeter.  Blech!  She gave me hummus which was a huge mistake.  Yuck-o!  She tried cooking pears the way grannie cooked apples.  "Sliced thin; 20 minutes on the stove-top."  It took an hour!  She gave me mushed up banana, but it was so slippery it kept shooting back out of my mouth.  She tried cooking a sweet potato in the microwave.  It caught on fire and the en-tire house smelled like smoke for days.  A month later the microwave still smells like smoke.  She bought a butternut squash to roast and while preparing it realized it was actually spaghetti squash.  Hard to get a break around here!

Things that thankfully HAVE worked:  grannie Annie's apples (in my best french accent: mon favorite!), avocado (gotta love no prep, no fuss foods), pears (after an hour on the stove-top), and banana (when mama just gives me the whole thing to gnaw on).  Nom nom nom.
