Expanding Our Culinary Horizons

Tonight was Owen's first Chinese dinner cooked by Nana.  On the menu: Foil Wrapped Chicken, Egg Rolls, Hot & Sour Soup, Mu Shu Pork, Mongolian Beef, and Fried Rice.  The guest list was Owen and me, Nancy and Joe, Kelly and Finn, Andrew and Eleanor, and of course, Nana.

We found out that Owen loves Chinese food!  Not surprising since so does everyone on both sides of his family...He ate 3 foil wrapped chicken; he ate all the pork and tofu out of my soup; he ate some of the pork out of the mu shu; and he ate a ton of the mongolian beef.  Still not a fan of rice, but oh well.  He also loves mango ice cream, but who doesn't - really? 

I brought my camera with grand intentions of getting lots of pictures, but at least one of Owen and Finn together.  As always, when I'm single parenting at a house where I don't want Owen breaking everything in sight - there is no time for pictures.  I managed to get a couple of Owen playing with his water table (note to self: bad idea to bring a water table without a change of clothes.)  And a couple of Finn being a cutie pie.  Imagine little Finn sitting nicely on the floor as he is in this picture with Owen hovering above him in his high chair screaming, "BABY!  BABY!  BABY!  BABY!" at him.  Poor kid! 

Leftovers tomorrow!
