"Say! I like green eggs and ham! I do! I like them Sam-I-am! blaaagghhk." Phillip took a bite of spinach and put it in his cheek as he mustered up as much enthusiasm as anyone could and successfully quoted a line from the famous book. Sadly, he was not as successful in swallowing the spinach. I tried so hard to keep from laughing at my little guy. He tried to convince himself like Sam that eating green eggs and ham was an enjoyable experience. It wasn't so pleasant, but at least he tried it. Then he proceeded to scrape the spinach off of the egg white and eat only the egg white and ham.
No gags or complaints were heard out of baby girl. She ate everything on her tray. Her green eggs consisted of mashed potatoes that had been blended with some steamed spinach. I used my handy little cookie scoop (mentioned in another entry) to get a perfectly-rounded "green yoke" on her egg white.
We couldn't understand why he was looking at the book at the table. Moments later, we realized he was memorizing a line that he was going to proudly quote to us.
Enjoying the pink ink drink, but not so certain about the green eggs.
Can you believe her mother put a feather puff on her head because it made her look like a Yink?
I am not a Yink. Thanks Mom.
Grown Up Green Eggs and Ham-It makes for great leftovers, too!
the ham and veggies are diced and ready to go
1. Spread the love, I mean the ham.
2. Spread some more love aka sprinkle the cheese
3. Top with bell pepper, onions and steamed spinach (I didn't steam the spinach and it didn't cook down much in the quiche.) Not the time to try a short cut =)
4. Pour the milk/egg mixture over the veggies
5. Top with grated Havarti
The puffy result after baking for 45 minutes.
