The Human Garbage Disposal

I am behind on updating, like EVERYTHING, I know (cut me some slack, I’m on my third night of working on laundry, plus grocery shopping and cleaning and whine moan complain, blah).

So for now I give you a simple list. Of food. That our son has decided to scarf down with utter and complete abandon. Thus far, this includes:

• Greens and veggies (although he’s more partial to sweet, like peas, over green beans. Still eats any veg we throw at him)

• Fruits, with strawberries and pineapple being the most popular

• Baby Cheetos and Cherry Puffs, Wagon Wheels, Yogurt Melts, also those annoying Mum Mum things (aka: baby junk food, all of it)

• Chicken dishes of all kinds, also – beef, pork, venison, nilgai, and hot dog

• Steel cut oats and regular oatmeal

• Indian cuisine – he digs Korma, Tikka Masala, curries DUDES THIS IS SO TOTALLY MY CHILD

• Snow

• Pickles

• Lemony-goodness of any kind, be it in savory or sweet dishes

• Risotto

• Paper

• Black bean soup, wild rice soup, any sort of soup

• Salmon and cod

• Quinoa

• Blueberry pancakes

• Fage Greek yogurt

• Cookies. Cake. And apparently he inhaled his cupcake (enjoyed in honor of Kiri’s birthday) at daycare at an alarming speed, like Miss Fanta was all , “and then I tried to take a picture, but he was just *so fast*, I couldn’t get one…”.

• Smoked fish hash

• Yarn strands yanked out of the bathroom rugs

• Gnocchi

• Assorted crackers leftover from nights of “cheese tray” dinners

• Goulash and other casserole type dishes

• Smoked chicken nachos

• Liver pate (however: while he loved it, it did not love him back)

• Floor lint

• Sorbet (and, ah, he may have had a few teeny bites of ice cream. Maybe)

• Cheese – feta, fontina, cheddar, Parm, you name it – as long as you can get it in his mouth

• Gift bows

… and who knows what else. I am enjoying his hearty appetite while I can. In the meantime, his beloved friend Potato Pete is happy to hear he has not yet ingested perogies.

He just kinda chews on them.
