Not that any of this means Lucy will eat it. This is unpredictable. Sometimes she gorges. Sometimes she starves. I can never predict what will happen. And her reasons are diverse and bizarre and a puzzle for me. A puzzle whose answers change daily, as if to keep me on my toes, make sure I’m not bored or anything.

But I do like the tiny compartments.

Now, hopefully you won't find out that I arranged Iris's breakfast into an Eggo Pac-Mac eating a sausage link.</p> I agree, Cheryl.

I have great disdain for disguising food or making it "fun to eat" by making faces or animals. Hey, I'm all for silly, but if your kid won't eat something unless it has a goofy face on it then you have bigger food issues. (And yes, I have kids of my own).</p> I’m glad Wendy made that comment.

Perfect for someone who can't decide what they want for lunch. Also perfect for someone who loves dinners made up entirely of hors d'oeuvres or of french entrées: rillettes, crusty bread, good cheese, pickles, olives, etc.</p> <p>Though I can appreciate appreciating something solely on it's aesthetic appeal (I work in design, and what can I say? Love of well designed packaging is my dirty (bad for the environment) secret), I cannot understand the desire to eat food that doesn't look like food.</p> Personally, I’ve got the B-love because of the fact that you get to eat a bunch of different things in small portions.
