paging the family . . .

Yo, absinthea and blixa23:

What do I need to have on hand for you folks? What do the boys snack on?

We generally have carrots and tortilla chips on hand. Celery can be had. I have sunflower butter and cream cheese. I can make hummus, onion dip, spinach artichoke dip, etc. There's always popcorn--I live off the stuff.

Will they eat relatively plain cereals or eggs/omelets? I can get Gorilla Munch (like corn pops) or Koala Crisp (cocoa crispies)--or a plain crispy rice cereal. I don't keep much soda in the house, but I have tons of tea and make iced tea on a regular basis (unsweetened, decaf, with honeybush or rooibos). I have half and half and espresso.

I frequently munch on rice + beans inside a corn tortilla. Is that likely to appeal? What about greens? Enchiladas? Vegetarian Chili? I can always make pasta (Tinkyada--it's GF). Do y'all like Indian food?

What are the NO WAY! foods for you folks? I already plan on making Al crank the ube ice cream.

(Don't worry Al, we don't have an ice cream maker . . . or ube.)

He would probably be fine with popcorn cakes. Are there any fruits you cannot have around? I almost forgot...Al likes bananas, but seems to be allergic to them (he gets a weird mild saxitoxin poisoning-like reaction...very very odd, but then again nobody ever accused him of being normal). The boys love nanners and as long as A1 doesn't put one in his own mouth he is fine.

The only forbidden fruit is papaya. :)

Bananas are fine, even if I can't eat them when my total allergen load is high (they're a cross-reactor with papaya and latex). they won't bother me in the least. I could probably eat them, too, since I've been okay with avocados lately.
