still day 1 - eating

As usual, Jonas has opted out of breakfast altogether. He wouldn't have done so this morning if I'd allowed him the waffles in the freezer, but now I'm a "mean mommy". Actually, I'm a dumb mommy because I bought them thinking "wheat free?! That's perfect!" Duh, they have soy, like everything in a box. They also have peach and pineapple juice, which are also not cool. I don't know what I was thinking not reading the ingredients. Actually, I do, I was very distracted while shopping because I had had a lovely weekend, greatly lacking in sleep and was volunteering for the Cleveland Food Co-Op's we're still here even though Euclid Corridor is riped up so come shop here or we're going to die thing. Oh well.

So, for Lunch I'm making fries and rice pasta, with a side of apples or pears and peas, for those interested in such things. I realize this is a very starchy meal, but what are ya going to do? The fries are pretty good. I just cut red skin potatoes into thin slivers and laid them in olive oil and salt and bake at 450 degrees for 25 minutes or until lightly brown and crispy, turning once somewhere toward the middle. I usually add rosemary and oregano to this (yum!) but the kids aren't big fans of it, and who knows, those could be a problem, too. Now, I served this with ketchup because Jonas was loosing it, and I don't think there's any problem with tomatoes, but I do question the sugar. I just don't know, maybe I messed up big there. The pasta was good too. I like this brand, it's not slimy like the others. Ick.


I can tell Jonas has the anxiety already. He burst into tears (so unlike him) over the ketchup thing, exclaiming "I can never eat anything good ever, ever again!" ugh.
