Made some yakisoba! (Like the Japanese version of Chinese lo-mein stir-fried noodles with veggies - and meat(s) if you want.) Well, I cheated and used a bottled sauce and I dont have the kitchen space to make my own noodles. But it it pretty good! Hehe, Courtney calls lo-mein Chinese Spaghetti! ;) Once I was with Chris (my ex, CJs mom) and Chris dad and we stopped at a Chinese fast place and they forgot or add lo-mein to the order - and even charge us for it - but Courtney looked so sad and was trying to explain to her mom what she was upset about - and she just said. sadly ...You know, Chinese spaghetti!! My and Gpa felt there as enough food, but CJ was just sitting there not eating, so I got her Chinese spaghetti and she *shoveled* it down! (She likes it with chicken, but I think thats the only kind she had ever, since I introduced it to her and her brother - and my kids too probably. Chicken-on-a-stick is the other thing they ALL like. Alex and Danny and us were invited to a fancy dinner party for a charity and out or a plate loaded with tons of fancy food, the grilled chicken sticks were all they were interested in! Forget nuggets! In fact, if you put any kind of food on a stick - then cook it *fire*(!!!) - kids will eat it. All of it. I think it would be fun for a while at least) to open a kid-centric restaurant - and serve fun and interesting food for kids (but BEYOND the traditional (and boring and unhealthy) American eatery childrens menu of nuggets and grilled cheese and fries and re pizza...and make something FUN and INTERESTING! Maybe even have some dishes or steps in serving that the kids could participate in assembling! And the kids could learn about food science - and even where there food comes from! (We could maybe have an herb-garden or rooftop greenhouse where kids could pick some ingredients! We would avoid common allergy causing foods - especially the really dangerous ones (sadly, peanuts would be out - or the new proposed GM variety with the gene for the allergen protein removed! I would love to see a child with a severe allergy to peanuts take they first bite of a *safe* peanut-butter and jelly sandwich! And we could have plenty of stuff for lactose and gluten-intolerant kids!!! Sadly, even if I had the start-up money for something like this...I would want to make it cheap enough for pretty much ANY and EVERY kid could eat there as much as they wanted - so Id want to keep the prices really low as possible - but then Id also want organic and local as possible. Okay, so maybe not a full-time restaurant but some kind of Childrens Museum or Library event!!!???
