The end of the rainbow...
It all started yesterday in the grocery store. We were perusing the fish counter when Paige pointed out a large rainbow trout fillet and said, "this is good...I like this". "Ok great, let's get that", I said. It didn't really matter that we probably had a whole bunch of rainbow trout in the freezer from various fishing excursions....she actually wanted healthy food and I was going to get it. I baked it tonight, gave Paige her usual amount, along with some beans and potatoes and set it down in front of her. She took her fork and literally started shovelling bits of fish into her mouth. When the fish pieces became too small she started using her fingers. Finished it all and then ate all of her beans. Didn't touch the potatoes. Asked for more fish and beans, and even swiped a bean off my plate. Told me she still didn't like potatoes. Got down from her chair and sweetly asked to sit with me. I lifted her up and she started scavenging the skin of my fish for any last little scraps. This was like nothing I have ever seen. Ever. We will have to make this meal more often. I'm sure she likes the sweetness of the Taku Sugar Maple rub from Alaska on the fish.
