I Just Don’t Get Kids

Too tart for me.

Too tart for me.

I was preparing a cranberry sauce yesterday as one of my contributions to my parent’s Thanksgiving dinner. Suddenly, Louisa grabs a few cranberries and stuffs them in her mouth. I had two reactions to her action. First, my entire face pinched in pain at the thought of eating raw cranberries. Second, I told her she didn’t want to do that because they were tart. Silly me, the child that doesn’t like cooked carrots, squash, or bananas likes raw cranberries. Go figure.

    Some people believe in the balance of foods and tastes but I never considered that the balance of food an taste could be distributed between members in the same family. Maybe your family is in true balance and harmony. Happy Thanksgiving.

      “To become a cook you only need a few essentials: appetite, ingredients, a kitchen to work in, a few tools, and a few ideas about what to cook. But which comes first? Appetite, perhaps: the one thing that all the people I know who love to cook have in common is that they love to eat-and the desire to eat good food is what motivated them to become good cooks.” — Alice Waters, “The Art of Simple Food”
