a penchant for healthy eating

hugh came down from his 'nap' this afternoon and asked what i was doing. upon being told that i was cooking an eggplant to make him and henry pasta with roast eggplant puree, he proceeded to dance wildly around the kitchen exclaiming "yum! thank you, mama! thank you for making me eggplant pasta! i LOVE eggplant pasta!".

apparently, the kid loves eggplant pasta.

he also 'loves peeling garlic with you, mama! thank you for letting me peel garlic!'.

i'm not sure if he's just really excitable today, really loves garlic & eggplant or if he's having an eddie haskell moment.

{to live like hugh try giada's rigatoni w/ eggplant puree.}
