Honey Pot

Getting kids to the table can be a challenge, and immersing them in le tradition d' culinare is more challengine still. I've found that a bit of kitsch and the considered melding of the elegant, the proletarian, and the unexpected (not to mention an active and exuberant celebration of all that is wonder and whimsey!) are just the right bait! Last night we surprised the kids with a (post-modern?) centerpiece of Astramaria and Beeler's Bacon, a groaning bowl of Kansas City Masterpiece Barbecue chips in hotel silver, and daikon radish over cottage cheese in Apache-fired clay bowls. In return, the kids brought something unexpected to the table, too - open minds and eager appetites! They didn't even NOTICE the avocado on their hamburgers!
