I don't know what, exactly, has gotten into Alex. I'm not sure I care, either...he's been on a 'taste-new-foods' jag the past couple of weeks. It's, well, it's wonderful.
That day when you sit down at the dining table, and all three plates hold the same foods? Priceless.
He breezed through Italian, expressed delight with his foray into Chinese, and really dug into the Swiss wonder of fondue.
So imagine our glee, absolute glee, when Alex decided he loved the Mediterranean offerings we gave him the other night.
He saw the falafel, asked what it was, and declared "I want to try that, I hope I like it'.
He did, too. He loved everything. I think he consumed half a 'brick' of feta.
I have no idea why he's been so keen to eat new foods, but so long as he is we're going to keep trotting out our favorites.
Wonder what spot on the globe we'll visit next...

Like the rest of you (I'm sure), I have more recipes bookmarked on my computer than I will live long enough to make. Each has a folder, with expected titles like 'chicken', 'pies', 'beverages'. There's also one...
- Minimalist Sandwich
This is just a sandwich. A good sandwich, to be fair. But a sandwich, nonetheless. Chicken, marinated in olive oil and garlic and lemon juice, grilled. Topped with slices of mozzarella, tomatoes marinated in the same (but different bowl, 'cause,...
- Blog Party#38: Birthday Bash
Happy September, everybody! And as we start a new month, it's time to unveil the latest Blog Party theme. Someone's having a birthday this month... Not long ago, I realized I'd not had a birthday party since I was ten. I really don't...
- Don't Feed The Animals
But feeding animal cookies to kids is just fine! Early this summer, we spent a day at the zoo with my mom, step-dad, youngest sister and her boyfriend. We came back to our house for a cook-out, and at some point, mom handed Alex a bag filled with these...
- It Doesn't Have To Be Pretty To Taste Good
Let's be honest: we don't post photos of every single thing we eat (unless you're Sam, or inspired by her). I think it's equal parts embarrassment (peanut butter & cheese sandwich) and lack of photogenic-ness (new word!) (buffet of refrigerator...
