*serves up lentil stew over rice*
*eating commences*
*only BBFK is actually eating the full meal*
BBFK: "Comeon then! Eat up, please."
Noel: "I don't want poison."
BBFK: "It's not poison!"
Noel: "They're not carrots."
Apparently *cooking* carrots converts them to *not-carrot* form. A form similar to an evil superhero, able to kill, like poison.
[Mom note: I have surreptitiously induced Noel's admission that she *knows* there are carrots on her plate but that she just doesn't want them. Sweet.]

totally precious! I kind of agree. Raw carrots are far superior to the cooked kind.
Oooh, the evil 'not-carrot'. I sympathise totally. I have child who can filter out (and reject) pieces of chopped mushroom from a mouthful. But I have a secret weapon - the Bamix, and a substance called 'farty soup' which is all the brassicas you can think of, but blended to a uniform consisitency with some gentle curry spices (no chilli) and it goes down a treat with some yoghurt and turkish bread. Can't tell him what goes in it though. Vegetable phobia is a sad thing, especially since he's also decided he's a vegetarian!
Just thinking about Alice Coopers song..
"carrots running through my veins... You're carrots...
Aww, poor Noel, poor Becky *lip out*
*laughing*
*and at Brom-Man too*
I bet it was a lovely supper ;)
I absolutley lose control at the scent of Christian Dior's "Poison"... but I didn't realise it was Eau de Carrot...
Mulgogi:
I try not to take these things personally, especially when the food critic's optimal meal would be something like a hot dog, some chicken nuggets, some french fries and broccoli. Oh and ice cream.
SFMD:
I'll keep that in mind when feeding you. ;)
Mummy/crit:
LMAO. You have to wonder who "wins", when "farty soup" is on the menu...
Brom-man:
Uh. Couldn't locate those lyrics. Could google be doing me wrong or has Brom-man had too much tea? ;)
My Lever:
It was certainly a *classic* BBFK-Noel supper interaction.
And I'm digging your application of reverse logic. LMAO... (takes notes on "things that drive Lever mad") ;)
funny, that is classic. but what if you put cooked AND raw carrots in the same dish? would that cause confusion?
Becky, this is a cruelty I never thought you capable of. Carrots!
*And the Mom-rating crashes...* OK, guys.... *grin*
Narthex:
I don't want Noel to require therapy when she's older (at least not due to me.) ;)
Jay:
She does like 'em though! But raw....she knows what she wants and how.... ;) Maybe I should give her some yogurt, aye? ;)
Keeefer:
Yum, bacon.....wait, wait, wait! I feel her arteries clogging at the thought... ;)
Keeefer:
LMAO!!!! Now THAT is a solid quote-able! "You don't make friends with salad...."
...........................................still laughing.................
Becky, a lot of our conversations revolve around me saying to D "Ack. What have you been eating...oh yeah, farty soup" and him with a smug grin. Ah, small boys.
Becky. Alice Coopers hit "poison" check it out.
Mummy/crit:
Farting IS funny... Noel had a real sloppy sounding round of 'em last week and before rolling with laughter, i managed to send her off to the toilet...
Brom-man:
Yeah, my meager hair-band knowledge has long-since been erased in favor of um, well, actually nerdy crap.
ahh you know, i'm kind of with her on the cooked carrots not being carrots anymore. they taste weird. but i'll eat a raw carrot. not happily, but i'll eat it ...
Rebekah:
Yeah, I'll just have to be more sensitive to her vegetable needs from now on. ;)
