  • When I was a kid my dad always told us to \"ruin our food\" which basically ment mooshing everything left over together and basically making the plate a big gross mess. He would joke with us and say that if we didnt do it they would serve it to someone else! We of course all responded with a resounding \"NO SIR!\" But we all got a kick out of it. I guess it kept us entertained for a little while longer so my parents could finish their meals. It was also the only time as kids we were allowed to play with our food.
  • We often avoid the kid\'s menu—mostly because the choices are so uninspiring and so different from the rest of the menu, or from the cuisine the restaurant serves.

    Why would we go to a great, say, Mexican restaurant and feed our kid chicken fingers or a grilled cheese and fries? My husband and I just make her a plate from ours, and if the restaurant wants to charge a sharing fee, that\'s okay.

    And, yeah, one chicken finger (okay, we do order them sometimes) is an awesome leftover. That and a bit of pasta and some fruit is a whole meal for a little kid!
