Eggs, Berries, & Rice

Twenty years ago Callie quit eating eggs. She was never a huge fan of eggs anyway but one day after school she was walking home from the bus stop with some of her friends (Kandice & Jake). They stopped at Jake's house and he offered them a hard-boiled egg. They were home-grown, brown eggs and when Callie bit into hers...let's just say it was not a good experience! Fast forward 20 years...

Callie & her boyfriend, Mike, were playing the Wii with the boys on Thursday night. I asked her if I should plan on them for dinner. She asked what we were having. I replied, "Breakfast." She said to count them out. Mike started encouraging her to try eggs. He told her it had been 20 years and she needed to get over it. Pretty soon my boys started in on her too. After much torment she gave in. But, she informed me, if she was going to do it, she was also going to prepare them!

So she cracked them into a bowl,

Whipped them up,

Poured them into a hot pan, added ham & cheese, and stirred them until they were done.
Then she made her plate,

Took her first bite,

And exclaimed, "They aren't that bad!"

I'm not sure when she'll eat them again but she did finish her serving that night!!!


Mike has a strong dislike for berries so to support Callie as she ate eggs, he bought a carton of berries and ate them with his meal.

We decided to give Madison & Harrison their first try at Rice Cereal that night too. Madi likes it, Harrison does not!





What a fun night of Firsts!!!
