Swimming upstream against fussy eaters

by Cellobella on Thursday, February 7, 2008

Groover would say it’s pearls before swine:

Teriyaki Salmon

Of course my little fussbudgets – though professing to be “starving half to death” – weren’t interested in eating it. And he had presented it so beautifully.

Sure, he might do some bad things, but overall he’s a pretty good egg (to keep the foodie theme going). You might say he’s E for Excellent. :)

Speaking of which… Babyamore (Trish) nominated my blog as E for Excellent. Thanks Trish. You made my day!

excellent blog

I’d like to pass on this award to some faves of mine: Karen Cheng, h&b, Are Don and Carol Coming?, Dipping into the Blogpond, A Roaming Aussie Mum, Reading Circles, Firstperson Thirdcat, Planning with Kids, Magneto Bold Too, The Beer Card and Three Ring Circus.

Update: I just showed my list to Groover who said:

I like all these acronyms people use for their partners… DH and MPS etc [Kelley what does MPS mean? - cb] – why can’t I have an acronym?

Because your acronym would be as long as your handle.

Oh and for those of you who caught the salmon reference in the title – here’s a little song: (thanks to Feline for the tip)

Sunday chicken facts

by Cellobella on Sunday, January 27, 2008

chookA dip into “World’s Best Trivia” by Oliver Roydhouse had me spluttering my tea over the monitor this evening…

Perhaps you’ve had a roast chook for dinner tonight?

Did you know that the longest recorded chicken flight was by a headless chook?

Or that in earlier times, chimneys were cleaned by shoving a chicken down and letting it flap out the soot?

But my favourite is that in France in medieval times one punishment for an adulterous wife was to make her run naked through the streets of the town chasing – you guessed it – a chicken. You’ve got to give the French points for originality.

I wonder what the adulterous husband had to do? Your suggestions please.
