The Work/Fun ConundrumThere are people who take the Jessica Seinfeld approach and try to hide the vegetables inside the mac & cheese. This aggravates me — both in the vegetable sense and the Work sense — because the message is, yeah, vegetables areterrible, and so is Work. So fool the kid into thinking they’re having fun, but they’re really ingesting pureed Work. Broccoli. Whatever.
When the truth is — vegetables are delicious! Not all vegetables, maybe — at least, you are probably not going to be a fan of every single vegetable. And not prepared in every fashion; boiled spinach is not my cup of tea. But as Hal would say, that’s human error. It’s not the vegetable’s fault.





I stand with you. No sneaky chef stuff for me. Are these your tomatoes?
ReplyDeleteNo...I took this pic a while ago...:)
ReplyDeleteWell, I like pureed stuff like soups and smoothies and I "sneak" a lot in there but my girls know what is in there because they make it with me...:P
ReplyDeleteNah, I am with you though... veggies are just so cool and I want my kids to keep on loving and craving them!
I did nor realize this was a quote.... I read that last night and thought it was a brilliant post...
