St. Paddy's Day Success?


Some may not consider it to be a success, but Ellis ate 2 "new" foods on Saint Patrick's Day. He hasn't tried a new food (new desserts don't count) in 5 months, so that's why I'm calling it a success. Why might you NOT call it a success?

1. The pancakes (new food #1) were disguised as whoopie pies. I'm going to argue that frosting in between two mini pancakes can't be much worse than pancakes with syrup! It's all just sugar . . . right?

2. The spinach (new food #2) was hiding in the green drink (blended up with mango and pineapple juice). Henry was also tricked and called it "limenade."

Henry ate everything, from the green drink to the green pancakes to the green eggs and ham. Nobody's chanting "More asparagus!" or anything, but I think it's reason to celebrate. Quite the improvement from two years ago!

You are inseparably connected with St Paddy's day in my head for 2 reasons:
1.) The year you died all our milk green

2.) The year we found ourselves wondering why so many people were waiting for the train into NYC, why they were all drunk so early in the morning and why they were all wearing green.

Oh the green smoothies---we all LOVE them! Once I've got one of those whipped up...all the other food is left uneaten because they gorge themselves on them. Congrats--even though you had to kinda tweak the food a bit...small successes are still successes! Yay!
