The boy's eating habits could be likened to a roller coaster ride-- he finds something that he likes, straps himself in, and devours copious amounts of it. He then discovers one fine day that he no longer wants to eat any of that kind of food, and so the search begins for the next thing his palette desires. Previous winner's that now find themselves in the collection bin include corn, sweet potatoes, yogurt, snow peas, toast, grapes, and bananas. The flavors of the month are eggs, mac-n-cheese, and whole wheat crackers from Trader Joe's. He also tried edamame recently and, oddly enough, seemed to relish it.
I'm most pleased to see, however, that he's rediscovered guacamole. And so his green-toothed smile has given me hope that maybe all these things are cyclical, and one day sweet potatoes will be back in style.
Also, it should be noted that a) this video takes place in Chipotle-- Reedu's favorite haunt, and b) we're working on the double-dipping issue.
When I am in France, I always start the day - if we are not on the road - by playing "Back on the guac" and "week-end at mama's". It is, for sure, a bittersweet pleasure, but a comfort in the same time: I suddenly don't feel so far away.
