Ten Simple Rules for Eating with My Daughterposted by snekse

I don't like to just post links to other sites or articles, but since I figure this is an issue all foodies will run into at some point in time, I figured I'd post this. I don't have kids yet, so I'm not sure how practical the advice is, but it's still a very interesting read.

Eating out with Young Children - Practical Advice for Parents

Here's a quick summary for those of you who have too many kids to allow you the time to read the entire thing :-)

1. Your real enemy in getting a decent meal is not your child, it's the clock.

2. Pick somewhere close.

3. Pick somewhere good.

4. Find a place with lots of small dishes.

5. Pick a restaurant run by people who are in it for the long haul.

6. Go early.

7. Compress the meal.

8. Make your own kids' menu.

9. When the last dish arrives at the table pay for the meal.

10. Tip big.

Hopefully with this advice you'll be able to use the new year to shape and mold your own gastronomic mini-me.

A New Year's Resloutionposted by snekse

I know I'm a bit yearly for this, but I figure I should get it out in the public eye before I change my mind.

One of my resolutions for 2006 is to blog more often.

As most bloggers do when they first start, I came fast and furious with fairly frequent posts and then I just kind of fizzled out. I hope to address that this year by posting at least monthly. I have a lot of ideas saved up that I want to blog about, so it will be nice to finally get those posts up. In preperation, before I post about anything new, I will be going back and updating the temporary posts I did last summer. Look for new posts in January. There's A LOT coming up the pipe.

Cheers and happy new years!
