1/3/13: Mr. Sickie...
We were snowed in for the day, and Derek had to work so I made us a big Indian feast for dinner. I combined two recipes that used cauliflower and potatoes - one from America's Test Kitchen and one from Smitten Kitchen. It was a snow day curry extravaganza! Mr. Sickie LOVED it, and (of course) Ms. Cranky didn't think it was so wonderful :$
It was at dinner that I realized that Silas totally has Zoe figured out. I don't know why this surprised me, but the following conversation cracked me up!
S: (innocently comments) it's a little bit spicy.
Z: I DON'T LIKE SPICY THINGS (of course she hasn't taken a single bite at this point of the meal).
S: Zoe, I was wrong, it's not spicy. Momma, what did you do with all of the spices we toasted?
Me: Do you mean the SEASONINGS we toasted? The curry and garam masala?
Z: I DON'T LIKE SPICES!
S: Zoe, I'm just kidding, there were no spices. Momma, I like the seasonings!
Derek had some of the leftovers for lunch today and Silas excitedly asked him how he liked the SEASONINGS, explaining that Mommy TOASTED them!
Seriously. Love that kid.
And Ms. Cranky, which is a direct result of her sick brother getting more than his usual share of 1/8 to 1/4 of the total parental attention ;)
