It is post-holiday but I am still faced with leftovers...ham, turkey, veggies and rolls. I have made grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, I have made ham and cheese omelets, I have made veggie soup. I'm running out of options.
Then I think of the Hot Brown sandwich that Louisville is famous for. I google the recipe and get to work. It is basically turkey on toast with bacon and a cheese sauce. My husband comes into the kitchen and laughs saying the kids will just pull the turkey and bacon out and leave the rest. What does he know? Did I mention this is a famous dish that Louisville is known for? How can the kids not be impressed.
So I serve it. It looks fab. It tastes great. My son wants to know what the cheese mush is on top of the turkey and bacon. A survey of the post-meal dishes shows my husband was right. They picked out the turkey and bacon and left the rest. I give up. From now on they get leftovers, unadorned, barely heated...that'll show 'em.
Check back for mush incident number 2 the next morning.

Too funny! My oldest will eat anything that doesn't eat him first, but the youngest is very picky!
