Alien From the Backyard

My kids constantly ask what’s for supper, then when I tell them they try to change the menu.  For instance I might tell them roast beef two hours after I put the roast in the oven and they will suggest spaghetti.  Suggest?  Insist!  I got so annoyed with it that I started answering, “food.  We are eating food.”  And nothing more.

One day my son got so annoyed with me that he yelled “You’re going to feed us something horrible, I know it.  You’re going to feed us alien!”

“What alien?”  I asked, knowing full well he was only venting his frustrating but still willing to egg him on.

“The one from the backyard.”

We went back and forth like this, with him insisting I was going to feed them something horrible for way too long.  So, in retaliation I fed them “Alien From The Backyard.”

2 cups applesauce
several droplets of green food dye
one marshmallow for each person
chocolate sauce.

Mix the green food dye into the applesauce.  Place the marshmallows on top.  Put a dollop of chocolate sauce in the center of each marshmallow to make it look like an eye.

Bon Appetite.
