Evil Genius's recipe

EG was out in the garden with me this morning and picked a cucumber and a carrot. He said he wanted to make soup with it because he wanted me to get out the stick blender. So this is his recipe:

Carrot, steamed, including the water it was steamed with
Cucumber, peeled
Fresh dill
Salt, pepper

I blended it all in the mini food processor because it was too small a batch for the stick blender. It wasn't too bad. I ate some and EG did too. It looked like baby food, a little.

Kind of a crappy pic I took with my phone.  His next suggestion: peanut butter eggs. I don't know how we're going to pull that off.

Unrelated, but I feel like documenting some EG quotes before I forget them. Here are a few lines he uses to charm girls:

To a little girl at Chili's: "I have a fire truck at my house."
To a plumber's daughter: "Hey girl, show me some tools."

More toddler logic

Poor EG was sick recently, but not for long. After he puked a couple times and scored an hour of watching Fireman Sam from the couch he declared himself all better and resumed normal overactivity. He was thirsty and hungry but we only gave him a little rice and water, so he announced a plan to get himself a little almond milk ("nutty milk") and got the box off the shelf. Before he could open it I warned him a little milk might make him sick. He grinned and said, "How about a whole lot of milk then?"
