"Yummm, Juuuice" she'll say.
She calls oranges "O'Juice" because I showed her once how juice is squeezed from the oranges. She liked that. She'll get into the refrigerator and pick out juice for herself when she can get those little hands into the fridge.
So, when we went out to dinner with our Chinese friends for Chinese New Year a couple weeks ago, we were the honored guests. They had been planning for some time to take us out, and because they knew that Dave was a vegetarian, they booked a seafood restaurant for us. Of course. Dave assured them that I was the one who loved seafood. I do like it, in normal doses. But at this particular place it seemed every specialty was a large seafood dish. So, taking it for the team I packed away some kind of pigeon (not seafood), clams, king crab, shrimp, fish, and a tofu pork dish and a beef and snow pea dish. Talk about being full. My stomach hasn't exercised like that since the last time I was in China!
When they asked us what we wanted to drink, I knew that Josie would probably not eat much, and so juice might be her nutrition for the evening. I also didn't want to raise the price of our meal in suggesting wine, knowing the prices around here (especially for the dishes already on teh table). Yes, juice was the way to go. You can imagine my surprise when the waiter brought out pitchers of fresh squeezed orange juice.
And Josie loved it. Of course. And so she should as we found out later each pitcher was $28. I probably should have suggested the wine.
Oh well. At least, you can't go wrong with a crab like this one!
Apparently we didn't eat enough of our fancy schmancy meal because our friends invited us to their house for a home cooked meal 2 days later. I'll be honest. We liked that food better. And Josie packed it down. But she especially liked the strawberries and the O'juice at the end of the meal!
