Dad update:
He was discharged from the hospital 2 days.
RIGHT ON!!! He sounds like bionic dad! That EXCELLENT news.
His blood sugar should swing back into normal levels; major surgery screws *everything* up for a little while.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
And thanks for the article. I'd be interested to see a similar study, but focused on adopted children to see how the food aversion and/or new food fear compares with children raised by their biological children.
I dunno. That would be a cool study. Further in the article, they quote
Hugh Garvey, an editor at Bon Appétit magazine, knows the heartbreak firsthand. He shares his experience on gastrokid.com, a blog he created with a British pal that details the gastronomic life of families. His daughter, 6, is an omnivore’s dream child. But his son, 3, will eat only brown food.
When I was a nanny, the girl I nannied for would only eat pasta with butter and parmesan cheese, scrambled eggs, bologna, hot dogs, ketchup. If you tried to sneak in green pasta or orange pasta, she wouldn't eat it because she thought you were sneaking a veggie in.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
But his son, 3, will eat only brown food.Bwah! It makes me laugh so hard when kids will only eat a color. I pray Emeline doesn't do that cause with luck and her personality, she'd pick chartreuse or fuschia.

That sounds like something I'd love! Where was the recipe?
I got it from this book: Super Natural Cooking. I think it's called something like "Big Green Stirfry."
We've been pretty pleased with the recipes in there.

Note to self: "Big Green Stirfry" /= Big Green Stiffy. Why you have to go there with me imagining the Jolly Green Giant?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How dumb do you have to be to use a tiny car to pull a big trailer up a big hill? I don't know the answer to that, but here's a video with the results: [link]

OMG! Too funny!
I am glad for the good Dad news, Kat! Also, I used to be obsessed with the mocha nips, but I forgot about them for some reason.
