Food Chat

I've been doing some thinking about food lately - leftovers, gardens, RioGrande carry-out, family meal-planning, fasting, food for Bill's birthday party, kids meal ruts, the Last Supper... just lots of food thinkin'. So I'm interested in a couple things from (all?) you people that are reading this blog:
  • What's the best kids meal that your toddlers like(d)?
  • What's your favorite (Cincinnati!) place for cheap carry-out?
  • What's a good thing to keep in the freezer?
  • What's your best simple family meal?
  • Do you ever do communion with your family? When? How?
  • Is chocolate cake with chocolate icing just too much chocolate?
  • Should I be doing anything yet for my garden? Germinating? Huh?
  • What's your favorite homemade hot sandwich?

Ok - answer one or as many as you please. Just answer, people.

I think the idea that chocolate cake with chocolate frosting could be too much chocolate is ridiculous.
Go for it.

What's the best kids meal that your toddlers like(d)? Tacos
What's your favorite (Cincinnati!) place for cheap carry-out? The Comet, Hamilton Ave, Northside
What's a good thing to keep in the freezer? Trader Joe's French Toast
What's your best simple family meal? red beans and rice. cheap!
Do you ever do communion with your family? When? How? I've done it with Ben, but never with kids...intersting thing to think about.
Is chocolate cake with chocolate icing just too much chocolate? Uh, no!
Should I be doing anything yet for my garden? Germinating? Huh? You can plant lettuce now.
What's your favorite homemade hot sandwich? Sauteed lunchmeat, swiss, smashed between buttered bread with mayo.

What's the best kids meal that your toddlers like(d)?my nephew (toddler) loves quesadillias and I can hide yummy vegis in them
What's a good thing to keep in the freezer? Frozen chicken strips, you can make anything out of these super fast!
What's your best simple family meal? crockpot (chicken or beef stew) Super simple and it gets rid of everything that is about to go bad.
Do you ever do communion with your family? We haven't but have been talking about it...strange that you ask! Community does over dinners together.
Is chocolate cake with chocolate icing just too much chocolate? Why are you asking this...absolutely not!
Should I be doing anything yet for my garden? Germinating? Huh? My seeds are germinating (I have cute little sprouts)
What's your favorite homemade hot sandwich? Turkey, bacon panini extra cheese

- toddler meal? Ummm... mexican wraps. Put any filling you want (I normally do fajita flavored chicken and veg) in a large tortilla shell, cover with shredded cheddar, fold in half, broil till top is brown and cheese is melted. Yum. Silas likes them cut into triangles...

- you can NEVER have too much chocolate!

- Freezer stuff... chili. For sure... we use it as a stand-alone dinner, or on top of potatoes, or pasta. Make a ton at once then freeze/use the rest down the road

We haven't done communion as a family... hmmmm
