Robin bought some eggplant the other day. Chris, being the pain he is, made no pretense of his dislike for eggplant. Despite this, Robin served it fried tonight. Naturally, Chris liked it. Very much.
Our son liked it as well, but it took a little cajoling before he would try it. Chris said how much he liked the eggplant. Our son still was not convinced and wanted to know what this "egg" food was. Robin explained to him it was chicken "eggs" and that it tasted like chicken nuggets. That was enough for him—he even had seconds.
After dinner, we got coffee from Caribou (or "care-a-bear" as our son prefers to call it). Then we ordered a cake for our daughter's birthday party at Graul's Market. Since Graul's is his second home, we saw Boppy there.
