(Karl posting). I hope Jen will forgive me for the following post...This is what we had for dinner tonight. I had my doubts when Jen started puree-ing a blender full of spinach. I suspect Jen wasn't quite sure either, mostly because she was saying "I'm not quite sure about this!" as she was adding the egg mixture & putting it in the oven. In fact, as a back-up plan, she whipped up some great ham sandwiches - which by the way were awesome. Kyle called them "ambrosia" (with the voice of Dr. Cockroach from Monsters v. Aliens). Back to the green stuff: The "souffle" came out after the sandwiches. There was a sudden look of horror across all the boys' faces (including this one) as we looked down at this...
Joren was first to bravely comment on it. He said, "I love food, but I don't want to eat THIS!" Jonathan said, ehem... "It looks like grass that was pooped out." I have to admit a little "egging" on of the comments as they continued. Jen had a great sense of humor about the whole thing and we just laughed and laughed. By the way, it was actually quite delicious with a little added salt. It tasted like a very "spinachy" quiche. I think everyone ended up trying it and liking it. I was explaining to a couple of the boys later that even though something doesn't look good, it can end up tasting very good. Kyle put it in his own words, "Something can look like cow plop, but taste like ice-cream" Well put, Kyle. So I guess the Soylent Green Souffle stays on list of recipes after all. Jen you're a fantastic cook and have a great sense of humor with all of us monkeys. Thank you and we love you.
