Eat Your Veggies


Lil brother is my best eater at my house (unlike picky big kid...sigh). Cooking for lil brother is actually a pleasure (considering how much of an ungrateful chore it can be). He always eagerly anticipates his plate and sighs when it lands in front of him, "Ummmm! Dis is good!" And he always asks for seconds-before the firsts are even gone. And then tucks his head into his plate, puts both elbows out and devours every bite (he gets full credit for enthusiasm-minus a few points for manners and style).

Honestly-I really don't remember his first words. But I will never forget the day at the dinner table when he announced "Dis is de BEST basagna EV-ER!" with sauce all over his face, neck, t-shirt, and arms. Not even winning an Oscar can compete with this proud moment.

So it was no surprise really when he announced at dinner last night that he LOVES "fried oprah." Although he did clarify, "not de person of it." So as you might imagine-"fried oprah" is on the menu this week.

Wonder if Oprah is as much a fan of "fried oprah" as lil brother???
