She’s 9 now, and thankfully, she thinks it’s “cool” to eat good food – like a juicy rare steak and seared tuna and spicy things. (I got her a variety pack of Tabasco – and she loves figuring out which one goes best with each dish.)

Now we can only hope that the “peer pressure” factor will cause her good taste to rub off on her little sister, who would live off bread and ranch dressing, given the chance.
