Familiar Food
Food continues to be an issue for Ruby. She still eats chicken soup most mornings for breakfast. She still hates pizza. Yesterday we went to the West Side Market. Joanna has been wanting to take Ruby there ever since she arrived. It’s a neat place - with lots of vendors selling their wares. Fresh produce. Cuts of meat that are not found at grocery stores. Incredible bakeries. I gave each gal $10 to buy what they wanted. Grace bought pepperoni bread and German pretzels. Joanna bought handmade pasta (eggplant, pumpkin, goat cheese ravioli). Ruby bought a Chinese meat stick, Chinese jello, and a piece of sugar cane. Last night we ate some of the pasta. Joanna and I were the only ones that knew what flavors there were. We decided it was best that Ruby & Grace did not know what they were eating. But - as we ate, the truth came out. Ruby had goat cheese ravioli in her mouth when we told her what it was. She just about died. She told us it tasted like goat! We had a big laugh! After dinner, she and Mike attacked the sugar cane. She wanted us all to try it. Interesting. Like chewing on sweet wood!
Sugar Cane
I guess it is proper to rip the skin off with your teeth
