Hi Ruth,

 RH> >  RH> We sent a notorious kid food/picky eater on a trip to the
 RH> Dominican with some kids from church.  He apparently found stuff
 to eat.

 RH> > If he was hungry enough, he'd have overcome his picky-ness fast
 RH> enough. Maybe something down there piqued his curiosity and opened
 his mind (and mouth) to new foods.

 RH> The fresh fruit apparently is wonderful stuff. The food isn't all
 RH> that spicy and it has to be fairly close to other Caribbean cuisines.

So he must have found something he enjoyed. Fresh fruit is usually good.


 RH> > The former is ground beef, onion, seasonings, tomatoes and
 tomato paste. It's much better than beef-a-roni out of a can,
 especially if you use decent quality ingredients. I usually add peppers
 and mushrooms,

 RH> >  RH> Not much would be worse, except the school cafeteria version.

 RH> > My home made is much better than anything served in a school
 cafeteria or out of a can. Of course I use whole wheat pasta in it,
 beats the white mushy stuff any day.

 RH> Amen.  Mushy pasta isn't food; it's landfill or elementary school
 RH> glue.

That's being kind to it. (G) That, tho, may be what makes it comfort
food for kids--it's probably what some of them had as their first solid
foods.

 RH> >  RH> them have some smarts, some more than others.

 RH> >  RH> Genie is more apt to sniff at a bug than attack it. Smarts
 RH> aren't one of her problems.

 RH> > Comic relief? That's what we said our cocker spaniel was good for.

 RH> Pretty much. She does goofy stuff sometimes.

Sounds about normal for a cat. Act "typical" for a while, then do
somthing wierd. Follow up with an "I meant to do that look". (G)
