Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 My DS totally freaks out when he sees people eating meat. In the fall he went to a Cubs event that they hadn't told me there would be food at. They had hot dogs and he just blithely assumed that they were veggie dogs, because that is all we ever have. Well he took two bites and just about threw up. He was so disgusted that he had eaten an animal. (And no, we have never taught him intolerance where meat-eaters are concerned, and freely admit that we ate meat when we were younger.) Whenever he goes on a field trip or to a class where they discuss carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores, he is quite insistent that he is a herbivore, not an omnivore. Of course the only other things that they had to eat were pop, chips, and cupcakes and candy. He can't have dyes so his lunch consisted of a can of Sprite and two bags of chips. Needless to say he did not feel well when he got home!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Mmm. My son is on a real mango kick right now. Just about had a complete melt-down last night because I wouldn't stop at the grocery store on the way home to get more dried mango. I wonder if the hot stuff in this recipe would weird him out.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 P.S. Okay, I promise every post here is not going to mention my son! This one was just a fluke because of the mangoes. <Kick in the seat of the pants> This list is not going to be about his issues, it is going to be about my weight loss!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 There's another version of this salsa - Lots of grocers sell it here in TX. It's Pineapple Mango Salsa - diced pineapple, mango, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice. You basically can ratio the ingredients to taste, and you could do bell pepper rather than jalapeno if you don't want the heat...it's a semi-sweet salsa as is, and we love it on black bean tacos. My youngest (non-veg) son likes it on grilled mahi-mahi tacos. We find it lends itself better to corn tortilla tacos rather than white flour. I've figured out how to bake the corn tortillas in my oven, so no fat there:) Debra Lee Thompson First Horizon Home Loan Corp Asset Recovery Database Analyst 214.441.5416 debrathompson On Behalf Of pdw Wednesday, March 07, 2007 12:28 PM Re: Re:Questionnaire for new members ~ Kathy Mmm.
