Charli had a tremendously huge dinner tonight. When Nina brought her home, she and Bella stayed for a while, as they often do, and we pulled out the big box of blueberries and Charli and Bella went to town. Then, for dinner, Charli had more than half of a farmer's market empanada - not a huge meal, but about the size of a normal Charli dinner, especially after eating 50 blueberries. But then Brian grilled portabello mushrooms and asparagus and Sam made pasta with butter, cheese, a bit of yogurt, and some garlic salt for their dinner, and Charli wanted to try some of that, too. She was not too keen on the asparagus, and the mushroom was meh, but the Pasta, now that was something else. She stood at Sam's knee and ate about 1/2 of her pasta. Then we thought maybe we should get her her own bowl, and put her in her chair while I went to dish it up. Charli's chair happened to be right next to Brian's plate, so she ate some of his pasta while she was waiting. Then she ate her whole bowl of pasta. Then she took the rest of Brian's pasta off his plate, in fistfuls, and put it into her bowl - every last noodle except the very last one, which she put directly into her face. I have never seen her eat so much EVER.

I love it when people enjoy their food, but Charli gives that whole new meaning. Looks like you better just stand back and watch. I am looking forward to some farmers's market treats next month--Charli can show us around this time. Thanks for the calls this weekend. We are going out to dinner tonight with Kelly and then to the Chaminade play--so my birthday celebration continues. Keep in touch--hugs for everybody, Mambaw
Wow! I want that recipe!
