So Weird...|Pad Patter 3.25

Mine is.... both of them, and I let them know it. Then this turns into why not be weird? So, it evens out!

 

I'm the one that get's the "that's so weird of you" line LOL. My food choices sometimes get a raised eyebrow or question. I like ketchup on my pancakes, goulash in a sandwich (not now that I am low carb but for yrs I loved that), fries dipped in mayo mixed with chipotle and BBQ sauce. I don't think any of these are weird but some others do.

 

That seems a little strange for a 9 yo, Courtney, but hey - I guess I had weird "likes" even as a kid. I still do. I love ketchup with mac and cheese - tomatoes are good too. I also like ketchup with eggs. I never liked meat as a kid and I still don't really like it. I could live on mashed potatoes and cottage cheese. So, I'm a little weird, too. Happy birthday to Munchkin!

 

You haven’t lived until you had a grilled cheese made with provolone and strawberry jam! Try it really!

 

My 9yo eats spaghetti with a spoon. It's actually both a fork (for the noodles) and a spoon (for the meat/sauce) but it's become a family inside joke.

 

Congrats on his birthday!
Butter chicken sounds fabulous, but then so does tomato sauce (ketchup) with mac and cheese.
Go with it, its memory keeping and documenting these quirks that keeps us sane.

 

Your 9 year old is a well rounded kiddo! Now, ketchup on Mac & Cheese? Yeah, my son would do that. He was one who put ketchup on as much as he could get away with! I grew up putting ketchup on Lima beans. Some think that is weird- but if you grew up with it?.. My son thinks its weird that I search the bag for "curled" potato chips. Always have and always will- they are the crunchiest, lol! Dad passed on the habit of Chocolate Ice cream accompanied with potato chips. Ohhhh yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh! The two foods highest on the unhealthy list together, LOL!

 

Brody wanted pasta for his 11th bday dinner.

 

My kids would totally choose butter chicken over a hamburger too (though they do like hamburgers). They love all kinds of ethnic foods ... Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, sushi, etc ... we live in a really urban area where there are lots of options, so they were exposed to everything at an early age. Even my 1.5 year old loves butter chicken!

To answer your original question, I think more people shake their heads at me than the other way around, lol

 

Daily, even hourly So much weirdness up in here.

 

What is butter chicken?

 

It's an Indian dish. It's SOOOO good. It's similar to tikka masala. We eat it out quite a bit, but I also make it. It's served over basmati rice. Love, love, love Indian food.

Oh, not so weird. I grew up on peanut butter and bologna sandwiches, potato chips in tuna fish sandwiches, and love curry on almost anything. He's just cosmopolitan!

 

My little boy will turn 10 tomorrow! He would pick anything Asian. And the spicier the better.

I always say everyone is weird...nobody is normal. LOL.

 

DS eats sour cream by the spoonful. By.The.SPOONFUL. When we have it out for a recipe or a meal, we have a second spoon so he can get a spoonful right away. Then we all get what we need for our fajitas or whatever, and then we pass him the spoon. Sooooo weird. He also eats butter, which I'm partly to blame for cuz the pediatrician said he needed to gain weight, so I went home and gave him a little pat of butter. Next thing I know, he's on the counter literally digging into the butter!

But I'm weird too. I love to eat a bowl of graham crackers in milk for breakfast. (I know I've posted before asking for breakfast ideas...cuz mine are not healthy rofl!)

And Happy Birthday to your little guy, Courtney!

 

When my son's dietitian first interviewed him about diet and asked what his favourite foods were she was stunned. He gave her a long list of different types of cheeses. If you gave him a choice of chocolate cake or cheese he'd go for cheese every time.
