Moose ka ka and pouty pouts

Considering our family's recent life events, at the urging of my daughter, I've decided to indulge in some comfort. Food and creativity in that order.

There are children in my life, now not so little, who early on dubbed certain foods with kiddy pronunciations, preceded by something to the effect of "I'm not eating…."

"I'm not eating moose ka ka." 

"I don't want no pouty pouts."

Well kids, tonight Uncle Chuck and I are eating moussaka (the low fat/cholesterol variety) and brussel sprouts. Yumm (the only thing missing from this particular table was Blogless Marsha and Dave).

And that was after an impulse purchase of an Ashford Knitter's Loom. There, Nonnie, I did it.

    Looks like a scrumptious dinner (despite the unappetizing nicknames.)

    Hmmm….I’ll be watching this site closely to see how you like your loom….have been debating getting one. Which width did you get?

    Mmmm…
    I love kid pronunciations. We call Volkswagen Beetles “bert car trols” and motorcycles “mert cys”. I’m not sure I’d want to eat “moose ka ka”, though. 😉

    Brussel sprouts are one of our traditional Thanskgiving vegetables. This year I thinly sliced them and pan fried them in a little turkey fat. Yes, I cooked enough for 15 people, when only three were expected!

    When my oldest son was in preschool, he called cole slaw “cold slop”, despite the fact that he really liked it. I, as a non-eater of the slop, heartily agreed (and still do) with his pronunciation!

    Funny, our family has slop for goulash, and Slammer Stew, as in you should be in the slammer eating this on a tin plate.

    It looks really yummy! How did Chuck cope with the aubergine?

    The meal looks delicious.
    I would like a copy of the scarf pattern if at all possible. Brilliant methodology for driving traffic to your blog btw. (two thumbs up) :-).
