Anthony Bourdain Shares His Daughter's Favorite Foods

Actually, my daughter is the same age and she will eat olives until there just aren't any more. For some reason, kids love sour and in addition to olives, will eat pickles, capers and lemon wedges. I can't say wild nettles make their way on to her plate though, but kudos, Anthony Bourdain. In a day where most parents claim the only thing their child will eat are chicken nuggets and french fries, this is music to my ears. It's always been my belief and practice to let my kid eat what we eat or else how will she ever learn to love different flavors and textures? I never understand those who give their kids such limited selections. If chicken nuggets and hot dogs aren't options, it's amazing what they will eat!

The Most Disgusting School Lunches

I have to say, my school lunches were MUCH better than the above which totally disgusts me. My daughter will take her lunch when she's old enough. Hopefully that's not too uncool!

You know what I am ashamed to admit? I actually miss my school cafeteria's Mexican pizza. Anyone else have this lovely Octagon with orange cheese and taco-y meat/sauce pizza? I'd buy a box if I could! LOL!

Bread Machine vs. Handmade

I like the convenience of the machine, just drop in ingredients and forget it. I think the bread is generally pretty good, especially if I don't have the time to invest in making handmade. However, I hate the loaft shape I get with mine. It's either gargantuan or oddly shaped. I prefer handmade, but sometimes the machine gets the job done just fine. Plus, I'd rather have the machine bread vs. store bought any day.

Bourdain Rants About the Food Network

I heart Anthony Bourdain. While I watch my fair share of FN, I have to agree that Ina cooks some really great stuff, but there is something to make fun of every food show host. The Semi-ho stuff has got to go!

Anyway, I find myself setting the DVR for all possible episodes of No Reservations!
