Isn't reading great? Especially when you get rewarded for reading the classic by Dr. Suess, Green Eggs & Ham. Yes, to reward Lil' Miss for reading through the entire book all by herself (and it's a whopping 62 pages long!) I made green eggs and ham for breakfast this weekend. I realize it's not a ham steak, but I thought since sausage comes from pigs it qualifies as ham, right?
Just in case you feel like doing this for your child, or maybe for yourself just because, let me be the first to tell you that just adding blue food coloring does not work. You'd think it would too. Normally when you add blue to yellow you get green, but with eggs you just get blue, so go for the green food coloring. If there is anything more revolting looking than green eggs, it's blue eggs. I think ours were a tad on the minty green side because I had already added the blue. I suppose it works for it being the month of March too, you know, like shamrock shakes, except it's shamrock eggs!
I can't say I enjoyed the treat quite as much as Lil' Miss did, even Destructo Boy ate his green eggs with gusto. Mister Vonkysmeed doesn't care for eggs even when they are the more traditional color so he escaped this mornings breakfast. I actually had to close my eyes for the first few bites, I know they are the same but that color leaves something to be desired. In spite of my lack of enthusiasm for green eggs I know I will have to do this at least one more time, when Destructo Boy reads Green Eggs & Ham by himself for the first time. When he does that he'll get rewarded too, with his own special breakfast.
