White and Orange
January 17, 2012
Know what this is? Me trying to make something for Peter that he’ll more or less eat. Still. At age 13.
This is an all white/orange lunch: apple & mandarins, pasta w/ cheddar cheese, milk and oj.
(He ate it all.)
Lately, he favors cuisine that is deep fried and sticky. Current favorite: The Lemon Chicken from House of Chang. The chicken’s battered and fried and the sauce is incredibly sweet. He’d eat it nightly, but we limit his phone orders & delivery to once a week. They are so familiar with his order, they don’t even ask for his address any more.
He also loves the Orange Chicken at Panda Express. Same deal…deep fried and sticky sweet. Ugh.
We tried.. we really did.

I would eat deep fried orange chicken every night for five years – and actually intend to do so – as soon as they invent a cholesterol vaccume cleaner that doesn’t involve any needles.

Hilarious. You happen to be one of my food heroes, Elliot. Every time we order food in a restaurant, you get the healthy stuff, and I’m always like, whaa… I thought we were EATING OUT! I always get the cheesy thing, and you get the fruit and wheat toast… curse you, Elliot! But I’m always impressed and think, yeah, that guy’s gonna live a nice long life. I’m ordering the fruit and wheat toast NEXT time.
