#1 has a huge amount of leftover spaghetti and was quite pleased with it. I had another responsible dinner because we still had ham from Easter, plus peas, carrots, green onion, and rice from last night's meal. I have to be a good example of not wasting food, so I made fried rice again tonight. I'm thinking I'll try some other fried rice recipes too because it's pretty quick and easy as long as you make the rice ahead of time. It's also something I can make for my gluten free friends!
#2 asked if he could have some Saltine crackers tonight, making sure they didn't belong to his brother. I said he could. What I didn't agree to was putting honey on them. That's another thing that would fall under "waste". That and putting maple syrup on spaghetti. Thank you, Spiderwick and Elf for my son's weird eating habits.
Amazingly, my three-year-old daughter has had enough self-control not to ask for any of her brother's food and she's asking to have her own turn grocery shopping. Oh please no. It's hard enough just getting her to agree to wear clothing, let alone choosing a sensible menu for the week.
