Being new and overly ambitious parents, we decided to expose Jasmine to new foods by going on “Food Adventures”. This weekend we went to our favorite Indian buffet. On the way to the restaurant we talked a little bit about India and its cuisine.
We had no idea how a five year old would respond to strange new sights and aromas. Ok, we were expecting open resistance, but as usual, Jasmine was a joy to be with.
Jasmine especially enjoyed the cucumber slices, the yummy mango sauce and the fried ball of dough reminiscent of a hush puppy. She also made a special mixed drink – orange soda with a slice of orange – which she named “orange orange”.
Lisa and I had Indian on Wednesday. Chicken korma–mmmm… I’ll have to try an “orange orange.”
