Day 5: Green Eggs

After yesterday, I figured we couldn't get much worse - so I'd just go for the worst sounding thing. So I made Green Eggs. Bailey asked me if I was going to make ham too, but I don't think we have any - I wonder if he'd try if if I did...
This is Basically 4 egg whites, 2 eggs (with yolks), and pureed spinach. It looked SO GROSS - I'll spare you the picture of the raw mixture. As gross as they look cooked, they looked so much worse uncooked.
Reese saw me making them, so she wasn't about to try it. When I offered her some (several times), she ran away screaming "no - no!" But Bailey reluctantly tried 4 bites, washed down with his trusty chocolate milk - and no gagging.
During this school year a few months back, he read Green Eggs and Ham (by Dr. Seuss). I made him scrambled eggs with green food coloring. He had a few bites, but wasn't crazy about them. Today he asked what I colored them with - I told him it was food coloring (it just happened to be made of spinach - I left that part out). When I tried them, I put Monterrey Jack Cheese on them. You could still taste the Spinach, but I like Spinach. I think Bailey knew something was up, but he still ate his 4 bites with a smile. There is a picture of him trying them below.

I think we are beginning to be on to something. That is 5 foods, in 5 days he has taken at least 1 bite of! I'm not saying I will ever make these foods again, but he isn't complaining much. He is even trying to convince Reese to try it...
