Last night we had hot pot for dinner --
(a soup-like assortment of noodles, vegetables such as mushrooms and baby corn, greens, and various other hot pot add ons)
--it's supposed to be cooked at the table, but we don't have the necessary apparatus, so we cooked it in a big pot on the stove.
Rhiannon was very happy with dinner because she got the pink noodles.
Her prayer before meals are becoming highly reminiscent of those of her great grandmother, Nonna. She has quite a silent litany going...
Eli stuck to the basics last night,
Dear God, thank you for out tofu, Amen.
And Eli and Calvin got haircuts over the vacation, courtesy of me and my shaky scissors...
I have to sneak up on Eli to take any near-decent picture of him... Calvin was not in the mood for photo taking since he'd just had some spicy soup.

Someday I'm taking Eli out to the Old Homestead restaurant and get him a big juicy steak.
Tofu..... ugh!
Eli and Rhiannon make their own choices. We offer to cook them cows or chickens if they want it, but Eli doesn't. We also eat fish on Sundays and Feast days, but Eli never has any.
Rhiannon does eat fish, and I've made her chicken and let her eat chicken nuggets at school picnics. But at the same time, she's also becoming more concerned with the lives of chickens in factory farms.
They both make their own choices. We don't force anything on them but we do talk to them about why we've made our own choices when they ask.
