S. was somewhere else and I was a fixin' up the girls buffet. N. wanted applesauce from the buffet to compliment her meal. M. picked crowded cheese, a term she used as a toddler for cottage cheese. I guess I never really thought about it before but those curds are crowded together. Actually, I think she just thought we were saying crowded not cottage.
As usual I didn't sit to eat and was moving briskly thru the house putting things away, cleaning and preparing for the next day. When the girls wanted to excuse themselves from the table, I did a quick reminder to N. to finish her a. sauce. She announced, "Yucky". As I turned for a good look at her bowl I noticed she had indulged herself in a heaping, a very large heaping of cinnamon on her sauce. In fact, the full jar was almost empty. I told her she would need to eat what she could since she made the concoction. A rule I picked up from my 8th grade Home Ec. teacher. Funny, I didn't like her very much! Still it's my rule. Anyhow, she kept saying yucky. "Yes", I'd say.."it is yucky. You only need a little cinnamon. Too much IS yucky!" As I entered the kitchen I noticed that the cinnamon jar was on the counter. Oh no! That shouldn't be there, I thought. So I rushed into the dining room! Yep, she had mistakenly grabbed the Paprika(for M's crowded cheese). Our bottles are clear glass so the spices looked the same. It was literally a heaping mound of Paprika on her applesauce. Of course, M. and I were cracking up. N., not so much. We thru out the applesauce and got a new bowl for here with just the right amount of cinnamon. So that is why last night M. was eating crowded cheese with no Paprika for another Refrigerator Buffet night.
