The other night, the Hubs and I were in bed discussing the days events. He was rambling on about things I wasn't listening to and I was thinking about my Rock Star dinner. I made raviolis but I put in yellow squash, tomatoes, onions and garlic and it was fantastic. It really went well together, unfortunately I asked the LP what he thought of dinner and why he wasn't eating his vegetables. And this is the response that I got....
-"Honey, there is like about 20 foods out there that I will eat. I don't know why you want to 'expand' my pallet. I am not going to spontaneously like something!"
-"Hubbykins, I don't understand why everything has to be a hamburger and a form of fried potatoes! You are going to have diverticulitis in like 24 seconds, I swear!"
-"Yes, but at least I will be able to eat potatoes. I can't stand things that have chunks in them. Why can't you just puree everything and make a smooth sauce out of it?"
-"LP, seriously? You want me to puree everything so that you will eat it?! You and Babeous Maximus can have the same menu, except I give her actual vegetables that I have mashed up, not processed crap!"
-"I don't know why you want me to eat these weird things! I like simple things, why can't I just eat normal things for dinner? Why does it have to be things that I cannot pronounce?"
-"You can't pronounce 'squash'?"
-"You know what I mean!! I don't want 'moon fruit', I want something normal. I don't like 'moon fruit', I like apples."
-"No, you like apples in pie form. You're not kidding anyone, and the only type of fruit you like is in smoothie form!"
-"I like smoothies, because they are smooth."
-"You like smoothies because they are beige in color."
-"What's wrong with beige? You have to put every freaking color of food in our meals, it's like eating the circus! Why can't more foods be beige?"
-"HUBS! Are you SERIOUS?! The more colors, the more nutrients! Are you throwing away the fruit I pack in your lunches every day?! OMG.... you ARE throwing it away, aren't you?!"
-silence then slight giggling. "Is it....(giggle) Beige?" Insert uproarious laughter.
Let's just say that we have decided to agree on disagreement. If the Hubs had it his way, he would eat fried beige things all day everyday. I guess I am going to have to get out the food processor and start pureeing nutrition into his beige foods. Heaven forbid it give the beige food.... gasp.... color!
