I just went to the grocery store yesterday, but today it seems as if we don’t have a thing in the house that anyone wants to eat. The kids are eating us out of house and home, both are just consuming huge amounts of food, I can’t keep up. The oldest has become picky, which is so unusual for her, so used to eat just about anything and was willing to try new foods with no problem, but in the past year something has made her harder to please.
The youngest has always been a very picky eater from day one. It is getting harder and harder to plan a meal that everyone enjoys. She is pretty good about trying new things, but it is unfortunate that 99% of what she tries, she doesn’t like and makes a most horrific face to let you know how much she doesn’t like and doesn’t appreciate having to try it in the first place.
So tonight I will be fixing Sloppy Joes, I make it from a recipe that I got from a very close friend back in Jr. High School, it was her mother’s and I have been making it for a very long time, and no one has ever not liked it. And I can tell you that a lot of people in the past 30 years or so have eaten them with great satisfaction.
I wish her mother was still around so that I could tell her about her recipe for this most wonderful Sloppy Joe sandwich which has brought pleasure to lots of folks. I think she would get a kick out of hearing about it. I miss you Mom Crawford!
