a carnivore

"Meahhh.  Baawwl."

That's the phonetic pronunciation of Bun Baby's new favorite food.  Her own very deliberate articulation of those words is much cuter than one could convey with words.  Some diligent parent ought to record it. (Seriously, I just had to backspace the words "video tape" before the "it".  O.L.D.  But I digress.)

She had her first taste of the ball-o-meat at a Sunday night church dinner - the kind complete with butter beans, homemade breads, meat in both loaf and ball forms and a variety of macaroni and cheese.  These particular meatballs were smothered in some kind of yummy brown gravy, and the bitty boo ate them like candy.

Ever since, she's enjoyed them at home, too, albeit without the yummy brown sauce.  And she eats them with gusto, shoving the entire ball into her mouth at once.

We-the-parents are so pleased that Isla has added something to her daily diet of pasta, salad dressing and shaky cheese, and continue to stock a large stash of the turkey-ball variety in the freezer.

In other meat-related updates, Isla also enjoys Thai pork chops with jalapeno, honey cured ham (thinly sliced, no bread), and Jimmy John's roast beef.

Don't be left out! Enjoy your own meatball here.
