salad dressings are optional - our child enjoys the salad by the piece and fed by a parent. My spouse requested their Ranch and eschewed it. Only I consistently use our California (maybe organic?) EVOO and Star-Branded red wine vinegar.

steak fries - only I want mine with malt vinegar & ketchup. My spouse uses cocktail sauce with it and our child uses ketchup. We all enjoy these oven-baked steak fries.

Wait, what? You hand-feed your child? Meaning he sits there with his mouth open and you hand feed him? He is around 12, is he not?

Most people eat crab legs without the shell. Shells are too crunchy.
I think most of us assume that people put what they want on their food.
You surely must be joking that your son actually requests to be hand fed lettuce?? And even a bigger joke that you actually do it? Why?? He plays sports so I assume that he is capable of holding a fork. Do you do this in public as well?

Do you masticate it, and feed it to your kid, baby bird style?

I remember that. It's not very often that something makes people scream and snort with laughter.

Tom Yum Goong made 100% from scratch all fresh ingredients. Exactly like in Thailand. It's wonderful to now live in a place where these items are at least somewhat readily obtainable.
Scratch made pork Gyoza dumplings
White rice
Rice noodles

Steaks on the grill. It's obviously a little cold to grill but nothing my pea coat and a few bottles of beer can't cure.

A casserole with chicken, broccoli, and cheese. I'm visiting my parents, and it is what my mother decided she was making.

Found some short-dated veal scallopini today so it was Wiener Schnitzel with appropriate cucumber and potato salads as accompaniments.
