sickening


Here is my nephew Miles. Cute boy, cute name. Absolutely disgusting lunch. He is vegan, as per his mother's wishes. What did he ask for for lunch? Black beans, rice, and plain, steamed tofu. Have you ever tried plain, steamed tofu? Well, Bella has! Jessie gave her some as an experiment since she has never rejected a food yet. She spit it out and has been wary of any new food offered since. They say tofu takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with. I've tried cooking with it and say it tastes like a rubber eraser no matter what spices you use. So I can only imagine what the plain stuff tastes like -- I certainly won't be trying it myself!

yeah-it was a proud moment for me. My little girl-she's not a freak! (at least in this regard...)

I actually enjoy tofu in various things, but so far Mya and Linc can't stand it. I was a vegetarian before I met Linc, so I have had all sorts of "weird" fruits, veggies, proteins, and grains.

Poor Miles, living la vida vegan. At least he doesn't know how much he's missing (even though he looks longingly at things and asks if they're vegan). I can't imagine living like that.

Plain tofu? Tofu is one of the food related things that Jeremy and I totally agree on--we never eat it. OK, I'm going to eat a cupcake now.

I am SO sad for your nephew! We may eat too many sugars and packaged foods, but come on! Can you really enjoy eating that?

Oh, gross. Even the thought makes me gag slightly. Poor Miles!
