It's been a good food month. This weekend, to celebrate Grandma's birthday, we went to a fancy seafood buffet on the waterfront. Kids eat free, although they are reconsidering that policy after Adelaide put on her show. She bypassed the "kid's table" (jello and french toast sticks - who needs that??) and literally ate her weight in fresh shrimp and Dungeness crab meat. Of course she had a fair sampling of mussels, lox with capers, and the cheese and fruit platter. You just can't be picky when there's so much variety! She charmed all the servers with a huge grin as she patiently ate and ate ... and ate for 2 hours straight! No wonder her belly is so huge! But Ada is learning that you get your food fastest if you peel it yourself. Here she is, looking proud after learning how to peel her first orange. This of course can be a mixed blessing when she climbs up to the counter and peels all of the oranges in sight. Fortunately, she's been willing to share the goods.

still an eater!

That a girl! Adelaide is already an epicurean.
Yeah... Ada definitely put me to shame on Sunday - but I'm waiting for the Thanksgiving rematch! Her shrimp skills are far superior, but I think my turkey techniques will give her a good run for the money...
