December 9th: Ginger-shrimp brown rice bowl
Okay, this one is just weird. From December 2010's Chatelaine: Ginger-shrimp brown rice bowl. I had doubts about this one, but I was swayed by the "reader comment" saying it was good. No. It was weird. Asian flavours + avocado + feta = not good. I considered not blogging about this one at all, but I did learn one trick tonight to getting Olivia to eat shrimp: honey for dip! She ate 4 large shrimp, a record number for her.
Our good night went downhill from there though: ending in tantrums and me saying "Olivia, you need to relax," and her choking out, "I ... Don't ... Want ... To ... Breathe!" So much for my yoga breathing techniques, which have always worked well in the past. That sentence broke my heart. :(
Now, at 10:10 p.m., here we are, both still awake. Sigh. But at least we've made up.
Aha! The first glimpse of: I don't want to do because it's your idea. I get that a lot around here.
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog! I've tried one or two recipes and I'm collecting some over the break to attempt when I'm back at school. I love how you add comments about your home life as well (re: Olivia's reactions). Keep up the great work, Kirsten!
