No Breast Meat for Me Please


Try as we might, we just can't get Munch to eat much animal protein...and Thanksgiving is no exception. Po Po makes theee most delectable turkey ever! The lucky bird sits in a delicious Chinese marinade for about a day and then is roasted to perfection by Po Po. There is no dry turkey meat when Po Po does Thanksgiving as my good friend, Jessica, will attest to. Alas, even with such expert preparation Gi can not be enticed to gobble up gastronomic portions of turkey. Instead, my little Munch goes for the wing. Can you believe it...the skinny crispy wing??!! Gi gnawed, chomped and chewed until the thing fell apart. Then with greasy fingers outstretched, she sweetly told the adults that she was "ahhh dun" and asked for assistance in coming down from her booster seat. Luckily, Auntie Jessie, who gobbled down three helpings of turkey finished around the same time as Gi. With very little prompting, Munch attached herself to Auntie Jessie while the rest of us continued to savor Po Po's yummy bird. Thanksgiving for us was great as usual. Thank you, Auntie Jessie, for the wonderful pies and to Po Po for always making the T-bird with lots of love and attention...the end result being so spectacular as usual. And we can't wait to celebrate another Thanksgiving with Gi.

What a true Chinese, Gi! It's OK, you can still get lots of protein from plants, such as soy.

I will always eat whatever Gigi won't eat, so you never have to worry about wasted food when I'm around!!!

Oh, the sacrifices I make for my friends!!!
