So yesterday on the Fatal Foodies blog, I tattled that Charlie ate his tofu with ketchup on. Yuck!
Here’s how I had mine.
It’s on a bed of rice noodles, topped with (alas! canned!) mixed vegetables and Pad Thai sauce. Charlie said, “Yuck!”
Chacun a son gout, as the French say. Or, as we put it where I grew up, “‘Everyone to his own taste,’ said the old lady, as she kissed the cow.” Don’t ask me. I don’t ‘splain ’em, I just use ’em.
A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Two characters like the same food served in wildly different ways.

You buy canned vegetables? Yew….
At least frozen vegetables would provide some vitamins…

September 13, 2017 at 6:06pmI know, right? There’s this one thing I sometimes make that calls for canned veg, and frozen veg goes all frosty over the summer, because we usually eat fresh in the summer. So that’s my defense, sir, please, sir. 😀

You may have my helping of tofu, please.
I never did understand, as a kid, why we couldn’t box up our liver and onions and ship them off to C.A.R.E. in a “care package.” Still don’t, and I’d throw in the tofu as packing material to keep the rest from getting dented in transit. 🙂

September 13, 2017 at 8:50pmBut that’s a GOOD thing, right? All the more for you! I hate avocadoes, too, but everyone LOVES going to Tex-Mex restaurants with me, because of it! I give them my avocadoes and guacamole – they don’t even have to ask, “Are you going to eat that?”
