Play Pretzels

We rolled out little snakes of dough this morning and baked them into fun shapes. I packed them with a small container of peanut butter for dipping, kiwi and star fruit, baby carrots, and roasted chickpeas. Beverage: chocolate Silk.
Verdict: This was our first time trying star fruit; we agreed it was fun to look at but not too exciting to eat. Everything else was eaten and enjoyed. "I ate a lot!" he said. 4 stars.

They're an exotic fruit also called carambola. When you slice them they look like stars! That was fun, but the flavor was tart and watery; we didn't like it much.

Hi there. I just found your website because I am a nanny and the mom is letting me cook vegan for her kids (I'm vegan, they're not). Upon looking for advice from the livejournal vegan community, I was sent your way. I think that what you do is amazing and I have sent your site to other moms that I think would love to have a look at it. Keep up the great work. You are inspiring!

I haven't had starfruit in a long time but used to enjoy it. Might have to locate it here soon! Thanks for the reminder!
