Food, kid
I've been craving rice for a while. Tonight I was planning to make something featuring the leftover chicken from yesterday. However, since the chicken vanished in the interim, I made something else.
I started off with the rice, and then tossed chopped celery and ground turkey into the frying pan with thin-sliced, minced onions. Oil, rice vinegar, and some random spices came next, then a large can of cream-of-mushroom soup and a generous gloop from the current bottle of alfredo sauce. I cooked it for some time, until it was just the right consistency and the rice was done. I then teased the Little Fayoumis by having a large bowlful for myself, and telling him that he couldn't have any until he was done with his carrots. When he finished the last carrot, I gave him a portion with extra cheese (he loves cheese on rice), playing up the presence of cheese in the sauce, and downplaying the presence of onions and mushrooms.
He ate a bite, then quickly vacuumed the rest.
*boggle* He's usually very picky about new foods. But he evidently liked it, because he was wondering (positively) what that smell was when it was cooking, and said he liked it after the first bite -- and when a bit fell on his shorts, he scooped it up and shoved it in his mouth rather than leaving it disdainfully on the side of his plate.
I'm not going to argue. Not. Not. I just wish I could duplicate the results. I suspect that my not hinting that there was a possibility that he might not like it contributed.
Also, he likes listening to The Alan Parsons Project, and requested that I play the CD again when it stopped. Go, kid with good taste!

...I'm not really familiar with too much in the way of cookery, so I'm going to be reinventing several wheels in my kitchen.
