Oct. 29, 2007 - Green Spinach and... Sugar??

Having no other quick-cooking vegetables to serve with dinner tonight, I opted for the bag of spinach in the fridge.  My husband and I both love spinach.  Our kids... not so much.  Caleb has especially sensitive tastes and will actually gag and throw up if a food tastes strong to him.  So in a desperate attempt to disguise the bitter-tasting spinach, I sprinkled a little sugar over the steamed leaves to see what would happen. 

After trying a small piece, Caleb announced that he still doesn't like it at all.  I was disappointed and asked, "Are you sure it doesn't taste any better with the sugar?".  He looked at me and said very seriously, "I do not like it in a box.  I do not like it with a fox.  I do not like it in a house.  I do not like it with a mouse.  I do not like it in a car.  I do not like it near or far.  I do not like it in a train.  I do not like it in the rain.  I do not like it far away.  I do not like it any day!"  I laughed for a long time and let him go.  I can't argue with Dr. Seuss!

I guess a spoonful of sugar doesn't help the vegetables go down.
