Baguette is a picky eater.
No, pickier than that.
Her main food source is macaroni and cheese. Even then, she’s picky about consistency and texture. The need to provide portions that meet spec has led us to the microwaveable cup. Not the most economical form of mac and cheese delivery. Not the most environmentally friendly. But the one that works best.
Other items that come in and out of rotation are Trader Joe’s fruit and cereal bars, Goldfish crackers, Ritz Bits, Ritz crackers, crunchy snap peas, berries, watermelon, and yogurt. Yogurt’s actually been out of rotation for a long time.
One day, her teacher sent me a message to let me know that Baguette had asked for the school yogurt, but it wasn’t being served that day. So I set out to find some.
I failed.
Do you want to buy Danimals strawberry yogurt cups? WELL, GOOD LUCK DOING THAT IN LOS ANGELES.
I found an 8-pack of Yoplait yogurt. Half strawberry. Half blueberry. Possibly none of it acceptable. I sent a strawberry cup to school.
She ate it! So I sent another.
Then I got brave. I sent in a blueberry cup.
And today she ate it!
You have no idea how big a deal this is.
