We had "pasta" night, which is a complete cluster**** for me as the chef.

One of my kids only likes pasta like rigatoni and rotini.
One of my kids only likes pasta like spaghetti, linguini, and angel hair.
My wife won't eat pasta at all.

So I cook up a massive sauce pan of "gravy" (garlic, onion, crushed red in olive oil then add quality canned tomatoes and cook down. Use the water from boiling pasta to thin as it thickens and tomatoes melt).

Kid #1 gets penne with the gravy and shaved parm
Kid #2 gets angel hair with gravy and shaved parm
Wife and I get quinoa with roasted zuchini out of the garden, topped with the gravy and no parm (we're watching lactose intake).

All were happy at the end of the night and cleanup was a bitch.

Geez. I think one kid would learn to like the other pasta.

It'll have to suffice for now because I to work out-of-town again for three days. I tried one by cropping up close but the plate was still small. You can barely see the gumbo and I worked all day making it starting with a homemade shrimp broth! :deevee:
Looks like you are eating a great meal in a nice enclosed lanai in FL :hmmm:

How can a kid not like pasta a certain shape of pasta but like others? There isn't a difference in the flavor just the shape......

Sensory issues for Kid 1. He has difficulty with all kinds of food depending on shape and texture. Kid 2 is just being a jackass and asserting independence but I let him do it in some things because he has to defer to his brother's differences in too many other areas.

Not the prettiest plate, but a tasty chuck eye steak, fresh peas, and fresh corn.

I would be told you don't like it, don't eat it 'cause you're gettin' nuthin else.

I'm gonna guess by his post about sensory issues, his kid has more issues than just being a picky brat. Maybe try to judge less.

I didn't see his later post yet. But I was not judging him. Just saying what my parents did to me. I would have probably done the same as him in his situation. Don't assume. I just in the thread and only saw a few posts.

That's what the cookbooks say too. I froze my leftovers minus seafood which got eaten. Definitely all the shrimp and oysters anyway.
