Kids’ Eats

It’s amazing to me what some kids eat as “meals”. I was chatting today with a friend and it was all about this one youngun’ that was into eating mac&cheese (the box sort) every single day – for breakfast. Really, that’s not a bad breakfast – starch, protein, some milk product; beats a cereal bowl full of choco-sugar super-puff-crunchies any day.

It seems so little; but I remind myself that these kids aren’t very big at all. All generally healthy though so someone’s doing something right.

So here’s a couple of pics of “dinner” for the kids of another friend of mine: The nuggets and chips:

that was what was left after a few bites for dinner and doggy-bagged for later.

Second up – pasta, with no sauce please:

this little remnant was not bagged for later.

The adults ate a pizza with a bunch of toppings:

there were even pizza leftovers.

What did You have for xmas dinner?

Carpaccio of beef with parmesan and drizzled with olive oil

Then some rolled stuffed chicken (stuffed with fruits and walnuts) with potato cups filled with mashed potatoes with cheese and chives.

No turkey – that would be way too big although would have been great to do a turkey if only to make my mom’s delicious stuffing recipe (a celery-onion bread stuffing. Which reminds me - I must reacquire that recipe).

Which you get, gratis, with your glass of wine. Coated & fried - thus healthy as hell. It's called a "tapa" (top/cover) and used to be obligatory because of a law to serve food with drinks. Now it's simply tradition.
By the way, Top: because it was put on a small saucer on TOP; to cover the the glass.
