iCreep

well, this is one way to do it. while t2's new method of transport may not be the most efficient means of getting around, it certainly is creative. so points for ingenuity kiddo.
we had a great trip east and it's good to be home. t2's newfound mobility hasn't given me time to do much of anything except chase. god forbid i leave a door open - he bolts toward the light like a moth to a bug zapper. zzzzzzeeeeetyttt.
i did, however, have time yesterday to give a take 2 to the magic bullet, the handy little chopping device that helped me create the healthful, delicious but not-so-much-a-hit salad slushee a few weeks back.
i figure all this moving around means 2's burning more calories, right? i gotta keep fillin the tank so he can do fun new things like go searching for treasures in our trash can.
this time i tried some fruit. cantaloupe and raspberries to be exact.
throw them in and chop, chop, chop. a little watery. i'll add banana.
bbblllleeeennnndd.
still watery.
maybe i'll add some cheerios.
wwwwhhhhrrrrr.
better, but still not quite right. so i open the cabinents in search of a thickening agent. sugar? no.
corn starch. hhhmm. corn starch? no.
maple syrup? honey?
rice cereal. ah-ha. rice cereal!
so i added it and blended and the result was a mixture as good as any bought in the store. except it tasted a little, um, off. i think it was the cheereos. i decided to chill it and try it anyway.
later in the day, i chopped the remainder of my tofu dog, some of my mom's sweet pickles and a little mustard. and last night, i magic bulleted some stir fry leftovers. all of these goodies were waiting in the fridge for us today.
this morning we tried the fruit mixture. t2 humored me for about 5 seconds and then decided it was horrid and splattered every bite i gave him. phewy.
this evening, however -- oh, this evening was a different story! i heated the stir fry and dished it out.
mmmmm. mmmmmmmmmmm. mmmoooommmm! this is delicious! it's lip smacking good! this is the most delicious dinner i've had yet! you're an amazing, wonderful, inventive cook and the best mother on the planet!
he said all those things. really.
because it was a success, i named the stir fry kitty b's amazing chop, chop, chopped suey fry.
next up, tofu dog mash.
seriously, folks. i may be on the way to my very own show on the food network. cooking for kids with kitty b.
