I totally have to take a moment to brag about my 4 year old daughter. Last evening as I was making spaghetti for supper, my 4 year old took it upon herself to wash the dishes. She was very adamant about doing it too. So I figured, "Fine, knock yourself out." And she did. With cold water and the remaining 1/4 bottle of dish soap, she took to the task. It was funny because as she cleaned and I played on the computer, I could hear her talking to herself. She was saying things like, "I always have to do the dishes." or "No one ever helps me." HA! I think she hears her brother and sister complain WAY too much.

My Brag Moment.

I Have to Set the Example
I like to try different foods. I love trying different ethnic dishes for sure. A hang up I have, which I think most people have, is that I psych myself out simply by the sound of the word of the food. For example I haven't tried Rocky Mountain Oysters or Escargot because I know what they are and I can't get past the name.
The other day, however, I faced one of those giants: Liver and Onions. I've heard many people talk about it. Mom would talk about the nursing home always making it for the residents. Mom and dad were never a fan of it. However, I figured with my chef husband making me a dish I have never tasted, it can't be that bad right?
My verdict? Feed it to the dog. The texture of it was okay, but there was just this funny taste. It was very dry, and even with the gravy I couldn't get passed the taste. I'm trying to put this funny taste into words and I am having a hard time coming up with something that will work. It's not metallic, it's not a fatty taste because liver does not have any fat in it.
Unlike me, my two big kids (10 yr old son, 9 yr old daughter) enjoyed it and my husband helped himself to three pieces!! The three little ones wouldn't even touch it. I'm not sure if I am willing to try it again though. Maye if it was prepared differently. Despite my lack of enthusiasm, I had to set the example and at least try it.
