This is not a meal that I made. Obviously.
I have been really interested in cooking lately. No. It is wrong to lie. Let me start over.
I have had to be more attentive to my cooking lately. As we all know, I have an on-again off-again relationship with my multiple sclerosis diet. As Nathan so appropriately put it, “The only thing worse than having MS is the MS diet.” Ain’t it the truth! But, it really is a great way to eat, health-wise. It is a total word of wisdom diet. Anyway, I have resigned myself to snacking on walnuts and yogurt, but my poor family is suffering. The adults are supportive, but Darby has yet to see the merit in healthy dinners. She says such darling things when dinner is placed before her. For example, “Mom, do you really want me to eat this?” and “Mom, that is disgusting.” She doesn’t even try the food before these utterances escape her lips and she still has to take 4 no-thank-you bites (great idea, Britney!). After she agonizes through those, she usually says, “That’s not so bad.” Of all the comments she has made regarding the dinners over which I have slaved, my favorite is the most recent. She sat down in her chair at the table and looked into her dinner bowl. “Is there diarrhea in this?”
It does a mother’s heart good to hear something like that.

Oh dear.

Oh my heavens, you sure put up with alot of things and your really kind about it. What a good mother.
ReplyDeleteI love the brutal honesty of Darby. I know she gets that from mom. For all the Parm traits she has, she is a JUDD through and through.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the time that you really did put diarrhea in my food. Oh, that's right, it just tasted like diarrhea =)
ReplyDeleteSounds like she is a chip off the ol e block!
ReplyDeleteOh so funny!
ReplyDeleteI just want to know the answer. Did you put diarrhea in it?
ReplyDeleteGood for you Hil! Stick to it! You'll have commiserate with Aunt Cindy. Her kids have come up with some good ones too. My children have informed as adults that they just hid food they didn't like in their milk and in their napkins and in the plant pot that was by the table. I always wondered why it flourished so well! Tell my sweet Darby, if she can't say something nice about Mommy's cooking just smile!
