Bread and Ketchup Sandwiches

Sounds disgusting, doesn't it? In the last few days, Conall has started requesting "bread and ketchup" sandwiches. I'm not quite sure how he came up with it -- maybe from a hot dog bun with ketchup since he takes the hot dog out and won't eat it? I have no idea, just like any of his other inventions.

I really didn't think he'd eat one, so I made him one with half a slice of bread folded over. You know, Conall asks for all kinds of good food that he won't eat. Well, he ended up eating 3 slices of whole wheat bread with ketchup yesterday.

I really thought that was a fluke. You know, maybe he was testing mommy to see if she'd really serve him something that weird. Well, I should stop thinking when Conall is concerned. He ate 2 slices of bread that way at lunch today and then asked for another "sandwich" at dinner. I figure it is whole wheat bread and at least he's eating something slightly healthy.

On another note, I made the Seinfeld cookbook recipe for spinach pita pizzas tonight. You spread spinach puree on a pita, then top with spaghetti sauce, then with mozzarella slices to hide the spinach. I even added pepperoni. You then let it cool so the cheese doesn't slide off and expose the spinach. I did all of this while he was outside playing, hoping Conall wouldn't suspect anything.

Conall took one look at it, found the tiny speck of green he saw and refused to eat it.

Conall -- "It has broccoli in it."

Me --"No, it doesn't, it is just part of the seasoning in the pizza sauce."

Conall -- "It has spicy stuff in it. Take it away, bring me some good pizza."

What exactly qualifies as "good pizza" when you think bread and ketchup sandwiches taste good? Who knows, because then he requested another bread and ketchup sandwich.
