Certain points that are useful to make after my last entry
1. We do operate under the you-must-at-least-try it rule.
2. Delia is very interested in cooking and has been talking with her vegetarian friends and taking out books on vegetarianism. We have bought cookbooks for her and let her try to plan meals and mess around in the kitchen.
3. I don't short order cook if they reject what I have offered. If they want something else, they make it themselves.
4. I do try to accommodate food preferences/food rejections.
5. This gets frustrating because the list of food preferences/food rejections seems to be growing exponentially.
6. I do, however, cook and serve stuff even when it has been rejected previously, so they have multiple chances to try it.
7. I do not throw away most food that gets rejected. Usually I will save it and eat it later myself. Yesterday's meal was an exception, because it didn't seem to be condusive to re-heating: if I warmed up the meal to heat up the sauce, the spinach and avocado would not be improved.
8. Delia is, actually, my least picky eater. She does, however, seem to be going through an unusually bad rejecting-food period.
9. I should have probably said on my last entry that I was not asking for advice. I was just more or less venting.
10. It especially is not helpful, after a night like I had last night, to tell me "you're doing this wrong" (e.g., being too accommodating/being wasteful by throwing away food/not letting Delia cook/trying too hard).
11. I am a good cook, dammit.
12. And a healthy and experimental eater.
13. This would probably be a lot easier if my husband would back me up. But he doesn't. He is the pickiest one of all. Everything that I have read says that kids generally follow the father's food preferences. I don't know why.

minnehaha K. has pointed out, the girls have been tested, and they are supertasters.
15. I know that it is likely that the girls will become braver about eating different foods as they grow up. I am trying to be patient.
16. My "bitchy" icon is getting just about the most use it has ever gotten this week. In fact, it seems to be stuck in the permanently "on" position.
17. No, I am not asking for advice. But I still love you all anyway.

The hard part about being allergic to onions is eating food that other people make. My mother thought that simply telling my father and I that there were no onions in the food she cooked would prevent us from getting sick. Then she wondered why we got sick and didn't appreciate her cooking.
