Stacy has an admirable dedication to our children's nutritional health and welfare. She is amazingly creative at concocting things that the pickiest of pint-sized critics will devour. Sometimes, however, some of her ideas are..., well, a little disturbing. No, I can't leave it at that. There's really no other way of putting it: they're downright nasty, horrifying, and quite possibly criminal. Take, for example, the dessert proffered this evening. Cleverly marketed as chocolate fondue, it certainly looks appealing at first glance. But the second glance is what does you in. Note the picture of the stove top.
What about the pan contents don't seem to align with a traditional chocolate fondue? Could it be the puréed carrots? Maybe its the mashed up avocado? Yes, that really is a cup of powdered sugar being added to that vegetable mush. And it's about to be followed by an equal amount of cocoa powder. Makes you shudder, doesn't it?
The saddest thing of all is the unwitting victims subjected to it. L ate about three bites and was quite done. Our son, however, who would find dryer lint palatable, polished off his atrocity without much fuss.
I don't think Switzerland is likely to stay neutral over this. What next?
Brussel Sprout Cheesecake?
Tuna/Liver brownies?
(But how could I not still love anyone who looks this cute eating chocolate vegetable pudding?)

Makes me feel less guilty about passing of moose meat as smothered "beef" to mine when they were little! After living with a very picky Maddox, I say you go girl! Get those veggies in them any way you can!
What's so wrong with dryer lint? Ryle eats it all the time (at least before I catch him at it)!
