Flew to Severna Park MD (my son's family) at the end of February, and this is the first time I've had to really sit down and blog some more.
So here I am at the house of 'picky'. Meant with great fondness of course. Brianna won't eat vegetables or fruit or drink fruit juice, except the kind that have veggies mixed in, and only under duress. The kids are used to the seasoning that is used in the family, naturally, so when I sneak my own in, they spot it and reject it right away. So it's been a learning process since I got here last month. The family basically won't eat leftovers, so I am no longer obliged to park them in the refrigerator unless I want them. And because they are kids, Brianna and Dillon can even taste the difference in oils used to fry eggs!
So the new adventure starts! I adore my grandkids, and just want to find something healthy they will eat. Maybe by the time I go home I will be successful. I did make agave sweetened applesauce raisin muffins, only to discover that Brianna won't touch them (the fruit thing), my son hates raisins, and they are kind of 'moist'. But I have faithful Dillon, who thinks they are just fine! I'm slowly winning one convert at a time, right?
And I've even been eating some bad (for me) stuff, which sometimes gives me a headache. The culprit is bacon with all those nitrates. It's just that bacon is sooooo good!
The trip to the Bahamas looms closer (mid April,) and we all have our passports. The house is being readied for listing next week, so it's chaotic on a small scale at the moment. But there are leaves on the trees and flowers blooming, neither of which are happening at home (I've got something to smile about!)
