For some reason my body decided that I wasn’t meant to enjoy rich food. I can’t eat mac and cheese, eggs (cooked in certain ways), large average amounts of chocolate, cheese in general and for whatever reason spaghetti. The list goes on and on. After a couple bites I just can’t eat it anymore! But with a little magic I can turn yuck to yum.
Let me paint you a picture. Your at a sleepover with a couple of friends and your mom isn’t coming to pick you up till 4 o’clock so that means Karens mom is feeding you lunch. Three girls and one busy mom means Karens actually in charge of lunch… What can she make? Mac and Cheese. Sounds good but nay nay. Mac and Cheese is usually on the favorite list for kids but not for me. Homemade, Kraft, no name, none of it works for me. I can barely make it through half a bowl.
Eggs. I can eat a small omelette or a hard boiled egg with a ton of salt, or even eggs benny and enjoy them. Sunny side up, over easy, dead, scrambled, or poached eggs are a huge nay nay. They do not sit well with me. Unfortunately these style eggs are common breakfast food especially when going over to the grandparents for breakfast.
Spaghetti is another kid favorite and that’s what it used to be for me but now I can hardly eat it. I have no idea what happend there but I no longer enjoy it. It might be the pasta or the tomato sauce or the combination of both, there’s just something about it. It’s become a nay nay.
Now I’ll let you in on the most magical experience of my life. These food that I can’t eat. A bowl of Mac and Cheese, fried eggs, poached eggs, and spaghetti are edible with KETCHUP. Squirt some ketchup on and I can eat a whole bowl of Mac and Cheese and only start feeling green by the last couple bites. I can make it through that egg with breakfast with ketchup on the side. Now your probably thinking there’s no way she actually dump a bottle of ketchup on spaghetti and ate it! Yes and no. In Norway that’s what spaghetti is. Pasta boiled and then thrown into a pot with cooked ground beef and you get to add your own ketchup. So on my vacation this was served to me and it was actually pretty good.
Now about the chocolate and cheese. I haven’t tried putting ketchup on them but if you feel inspired then give it a try and tell me about it by contacting me through my contacts page!
