Chapter One
My favorite food to eat is
sausage rolls. I love them. My mum makes the best sausage rolls in the
whole world. She rolls out the pastry and cuts it into squares and then
puts some sausage in the middle and rolls it back up. She bakes them in
the oven and when they are cooking, I can’t wait until they come out of
the oven. I love to dip my sausage rolls into catsup and honey mustard. I
also love to eat chocolate ice cream. I like it more if it has walnuts in
it, or any kind of nut. I don’t like peanuts and I don’t like fish.
Chapter Two
My mum’s favorite food is
quiche. I think quiche is a grown up food. My mum makes good crust for
quiche too. She rolls it out and puts it in the pan and then she mixes up
a whole lot of eggs. She chops onions, mushrooms, broccoli, and even
spinach, and then puts it in with the eggs. Sometimes she adds bits of
chicken or ham and then she sticks it in the oven and the eggs get hard.
It smells good and sometimes I want to taste it, but then I remember it
has spinach in it and I don’t like spinach. My mum loves ice cream too,
but she loves to eat banana splits. She cuts a banana in half and puts it
in the dish. She then puts two scoops of vanilla ice cream on top and then
covers it with caramel topping and whipped cream. I once heard my mum say
she doesn’t like liver and onions. I don’t like that either.
Chapter Three
Dad likes almost all the
food that Mum makes. He eats every single thing she cooks. I know he loves
steak with potatoes and corn and mince and tatties and haggis. He also
loves meat pies and chips and fish. Sometimes my dad eats a whole onion to
himself. He breaks it up into pieces and dips in gooey flour mixed with
water and then fries it. I don’t like onions that much! Dad will eat any
kind of ice cream, but I know he likes raspberry ripple the most. He
always gets that when we go out to the soda shop. I did hear him say once
that he didn’t like popcorn. The rest of the family loves popcorn. Dad
even likes liver and onions. Gross!
Chapter Four
Alec is like my dad. He
will eat any food that Mum makes. I think his favorite food is pizza. He
likes cheese pizza with olives and mushrooms on it. When we go out to
dinner and have pizza, he gets one all to himself. I could never eat that
much pizza. Alec also loves potato crisps and spaghetti. He likes curry
from the Fish and Chip shop. Mum says he needs to stop eating so much junk
food and eat more vegetables. I did see Alec eat peas and beans from our
garden, so he does eat healthy sometimes. He loves butter pecan ice cream.
Mum tells him not to eat so much. He would eat it for breakfast if Mum let
him, but she doesn’t. I know Alec doesn’t like liver and onions and he
will not eat cucumbers. I love cucumbers.
Chapter Five
Ethan is still a baby. He
is big enough now to eat normal food, as long as it is mashed up into
small pieces. Ethan loves to eat bananas. Mum smashes them up all gooey
and he picks it up with his fingers and makes a mess. Ethan makes a mess
with all his food. One time Dad gave him some spaghetti. Ethan started to
laugh and threw it all over the table and all over Dad. I think Ethan’s
favorite food is applesauce with raisins. He does not like peas! When Mum
gives him peas, he picks them up with his chubby fingers and drops them on
the floor next to his high chair.
Chapter Six
During the holidays we have
special foods. Mum makes ham for Easter. She bakes hot cross buns and tiny
potatoes. We have chocolate eggs and Mum lets us decorate them with our
names and flowers and things. We go to the park and roll the boiled eggs
down the hill. By the time they get to the bottom, they are all broken to
pieces. At the end of the year, during the holidays, we have a lot of
roast beef. We all like roast beef. Sometimes we have ham too and even
roasted pork or duck. Mum is a good cook. Our family eats most of the
things she fixes, as long as it isn’t spinach, liver and onions, or
brussel sprouts.
Chapter Seven
Sometimes Mum and Dad bring
food home. Every person in our house likes Chinese food and curry. It
comes in little white boxes. Ethan loves the rice. He picks the little
white rice grains up with his fingers and sometimes it sticks to them and
he can’t get it off; even when he shakes his hand and cries. I love sweet
and sour chicken. Alec loves lemon chicken. Mum loves egg foo yong and Dad
loves moo goo gai pan. It is tasty and filling too. |
