Why not? Commercial salad dressings are nearly as sweet as frosting.

"Nobody likes dry vegetables"? WTF? I ate buckets of dry vegetables
before crudites were "invented" in the 1970s.

When I was a kid, I loved salad with no dressing. My mom always ate hers
with no dressing. And yet when we went out to eat, she insisted that I try
all the dressings. Why? I don't know. Why spoil a good thing? In my mind, if
I like it like that, let me eat it like that!

Angela was the same. She loved salad when she was little. Then about the the
time she entered school, she went off of it. Why? She was given salad
drowned in Ranch dressing. Not by me. She didn't like the dressing. Took a
great many years for her to like salad again. Now she will eat it plain,
with honey mustard or balsamic vinaigrette.

Angela and I have always liked our veggies. Not all veggies but quite a lot
of them, especially raw.

My brother OTOH has *never* liked veggies. Still doesn't. He has to drown
his salad in blue cheese dressing and even then he eats mainly just the
dressing.

I hate it when adults tell kids the wrong name for things. For instance, my
parents used to tell my nephew that he was eating little trees when he ate
broccoli. They told Angela that the letter "S" was called "Sneaky Snake". I
remember her teacher calling me and telling me that she knew all of her
letters except for the letter "S". Doing stuff like that to a kid can be
embarrassing to them and perhaps even damaging if they believe the wrong
information. Can you imagine some kid eating at their friend's house and
asking for the salad frosting?

I don't see the correlation there, Julie.

It seems to go along with most of the products they produce. Sweet,
salty KRAP. But, they no doubt have a large market share of products
out here. Mainly because most have no idea what a healthy meal should
consist of. And, why would anyone want their kids to learn to smother
their otherwise decent food with something squeezed out of a Kraft
container. We never buy their products.

I picked up a bottle of Braswell's Vidalia Onion dressing. The first
ingredient was sugar.

I just don't get the reasoning of calling a dressing "frosting" to trick
them into eating it. There are better ways of parenting.

Funny, ads for Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing show kids happily munching
on vegetables.

Julie's parents did a much better job of treating her with honesty and
openness while raising her. As a result, you could right a book chapter
of the foods she does not like and only a short paragraph on those she
does like, and she has acquired a reputation for lying about just about
everything.

I asked my 10 year old if she would eat €œsalad frosting€�, and she wrinkled
up her nose and said €œno!€� This trick may work for a short time (one time)
on much younger kids (the under 4 crowd), or kids to whom the packaging and
€œcute€� name appeal to (but are old enough to know what it really is), but
the concept of eating it simply because its called frosting is dumb.
Theyre not fooling anyone.

I grew up in a family of hunters, and deer sausage was always called €œBambi
meat€�, especially to the littlest kids. No matter what it was called, I
always knew it was deer meat. The name made no difference. Then again, I
liked it, so getting me to eat it wasnt an issue.

It's a fairy tale. There is a tenuous correlation with Kraft selling
ranch dressing as "salad frosting". No real reason for her parents to
tell her nephew he wasn't eating broccoli. As if saying "little trees"
would make him more likely to eat broccoli.

Same thing with her parents teaching Angela the word for 'S' was "sneaky
snake". You don't believe any of this, do you?

I still like raw veggies with a wee bit of kosher salt, cauliflower is
a favorite. Here salad dressing is usually olive oil and fresh lemon
juice, s n'p. We don't use bottled dressings.

You don't? Calling salad dressing salad frosting? Seems obvious to me.
Telling a kid the wrong name for something.

I think you mean "write". Both of my parents were picky eaters. I eat a far
greater variety of foods than they ever did. And no, they were not always
honest with me. For instance, telling me that liver was steak.

Some kids eat veggies. Others don't. I don't think the dressing has anything
to do with it. If they like them, they'll eat them straight up.

Forget the "salad frosting," Julie.
My question was about your parents telling young Angela that "S"
stood for Sneaky Snake.

Just *WHY* did her teacher call to tell you that Angela knew all
the letters except for the letter S?

We called broccoli hulk trees to get our son to try it. He liked it and
it remains on of his favourite vegetables.

Because my parents said it wasn't an "S". It was a sneaky snake.

Just imagine what could have happened had you stepped in and taught your
own daughter about letters and told her it was S.

Or, what if she had taken the brat to pick up trash and dump it at
fast food places? The child would have been enlightened, right?

She knew all of her letters at an early age. This happened after we moved
back here. She spent the night with them and that was what happened.
Apparently they worked hard to convince her that it wasn't an "S".

Did young Angela argue with the teacher about that?
On an alphabet quiz of 'list the letters in the alphabet',
did little Angela write:

- A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P
- Q R SneakySnake T U V W X Y Z ?

Too funny! YOU should have corrected her long before.

Not so critical, please, jay. Just close your eyes and chew.

I prepared a double amount of rice yesterday (1 1/2 cups), my wife
wanted rice with her burger yesterday, she likes plain white rice, so
today it's pork chops and fly lice.

I have no clue. I wasn't there. This was in first grade. She knew all of her
letters and could read and write before we moved back there. I had heard my
dad tell her that "S" was "Sneaky Snake" but I didn't realize the magnitude
of the problem until the teacher called.

It'a also possible that Angela was making a joke and the teacher didn't get
it. She used to add a silent "e" to her spelling words. She knew it wasn't
there, but she'd still shout "e!" and laugh. When she first read the word
"father", she said "fat hair". Again this was a joke to her.

I don't think they sang the alphabet in 1st grade.

I'm done for the day and now holding down this couch so it won't fly out the
door.

Popeye, yoose can get rid of yoose fly lice. Go to the drug store
and they will sell yoose a product to get rid of yoose crabs.

Be sure to treat the ole mexican woman's crotch too, or yoose will
just catch the crabs again next time yoose eats her.

Chile relleno is one of my favorites. I don't make them but order when
eating out .. texmex and newmex versions.
