[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids, 5 and 7, will try almost anything and usually wind up liking most things.  We've gotten lucky, but we have also worked very hard to try to expose them to all sorts of cuisines and flavors.

We have some variety in what we eat at home, but a lot of their exposure has come from taking them to restaurants serving all sorts of different cuisines.  (This variety is one of my favorite things about this area.)

I'm trying to expand my cooking repertiore, but there are some things I doubt I can make well and, even if I wanted to try, I've had trouble finding ingredients for a lot of things I would want to make.

We've been doing a ton more PBJ, grilled cheese, mac and cheese, etc. than we normally would -- although we eat all of those occasionally even during normal times.

I worry that if we go too long where they are away from more interesting food they will lose their interest in it.  This is partly a vent, but I am also looking to see if people have any suggestions.  (Because we have some family members at higher risk, we aren't doing take out right now, which of course would be one way to do it.) [/quote]

People are dying.  This is a pandemic and the U S is the epicenter of the pandemic.  There could easily be MILLIONS of death

Oh, DCUM I love thee.

I must have missed in my post where I said that trucks delivering ventilators should be diverted so that I could get delivery of soon du bu paste.  Or the NIH should stop coronavirus research and instead work towards research to develop produce with a greater shelf life.

The very fact that I am avoiding takeout and grocery shopping in the stores because I have a high risk family member means that I understand the seriousness of the current situation.  That doesn't mean that relatively trivial concerns have to be dismissed outright.

And did you ever think that "worrying" about relatively trivial concerns -- especially concerns that there might be something I could do about it -- is a little bit of a diversion from the really big concerns that I have next to no ability to control?[/quote]

Np. No matter what you say to defend yourself...you cant.[/quote]
