I didn’t think that this match could get any better. But, this weekend we realized that we were matched with foodies! Well, maybe pre-foodies. Not only do T-6 and T-4 think about food all the time and maintain an eating schedule that is above and beyond any kid that I know, but they are pretty experimental about what they eat.

Sometimes they say that they don’t like something, but when faced with it, they seem to eat most things. T-6, in particular is adamant about needing to try things before she forms her opinion about them. And she is basically a human garbage disposal. She will finish T-4’s plate and her own.

One of the great things about them that they are very accomodating for changes of plans. They go along with the flow. We were using my gps to navigate the area looking for pizza. All lf the pizza places that were around when I was kid are gone! We drove by 3 different pizza places that were all delivery and take-out only…no tables. We decided to give up on pizza and get Mexican food. They didn’t freak out at the change in plans. How impressive! Well, in the end, we found pizza, anyways.

J- and I pretty much always order to share. We plan to swap the plates once or twice throughout the meal and maybe pick off of each other’s plates. T-6 and T-4 seemed to appreciate this, as well and in each meal that we have had, we have gotten at least one or two things to share. T-4 actually seems more interested in giving her food away than eating it herself a lot of the time.

We knew that it was love when we took the girls to Japanese food. I knew that they liked Chinese and once again, in an area that we didn’t know, we used my GPS to bring us to Chinese. Turns out, there was a Japanese restaurant right next door. We saw they had a kids menu and noodles, so we decided to go for it.

First was playing with chopsticks and using the chopsticks to feed everyone tofu. Then was drinking the miso soup directly from the bowl. Then, all of the cute little plates and dipping sauces began to arrive. Woohoo…kid AND foodie heaven!! We did have to put the chopsticks away at this point. But, we filled up their plates with noodles, tempura, unagi, teriyaki and even spinach salad. Let the feast begin!

I can’t wait to bring them to Ethiopian food…
