Honglien123~ I’m cracking up at how brave your Ba Ngoai was to smuggled not only 1 but 6 mang cut and here I was too chicken to sneak in one tiny guava from Mauii to Mass. You go Ba Ngoai! I bet everyone enjoyed those fruits a bit more b/c of her action.

My son is going through the stage where he only wants to eat yogurt. And nothing else. I’m not giving up, though. I still give him options - none of which he’s currently eating, but I have high hopes that he one day will!

I had rambutan today! It was $8/lb. but I couldn’t help myself. They were SO good. I’ve been lucky enough to have kids who love fruit and veggies and so the snack thing is pretty easy in our house. Besides, I do the same thing to them as my parents did to me. I tell them, “If you don’t like it, don’t eat it.”

P.S. My 74 year old ba ngoai smuggled 6 mang cut into the US. Only frozen ones in the US :sigh: I shed a tear just thinking about it.

Okay you’ll think I’m bad but my kids favorite after school snack is scones. Now I know most people think of scones in the traditional English sense, but for some reason I grew up calling bread dough fried in oil then covered in butter and honey a scone.

They love this and something about this that they can’t resist and though I don’t do it all the time, it’s about the biggest “I love you” from me to have them come home and find scones waiting. Not too healthy but mighty tasty and full of love.

Suebob~And here I thought only us Vietnamese folks who use salt and red pepper flakes to eat with watermelons. My Korean hubbie thinks that’s so weird, but it’s so good isn’t it?!

Jeff~I’ve never heard of ketchup until I arrived in the U.S. and french fries too for that matter.
