Special Food Function

When I was a freshman at BYU I lived at Deseret Towers (as did Bryce a few years earlier). Every so often the cafeteria would have a "special food function" which was a themed menu. One I recall was a western theme complete with bandannas tied to chairs, a covered wagon in the corner, and "sarsaparilla" to drink, which I had only ever heard of.

This past week, we've had our own special food functions at the Jones family kitchen. The first was "Fiesta" (nachos and blackberry smoothies). The second was "Deadliest Catch" (King crab legs, in honor of the season premier of the TV show by the same name). Here are some pictures.

Scenes from "Fiesta" (in which nachos were not eaten by anyone under 7 years old). In hindsight, blackberries and todddlers might not have been the tidiest combination.

"Deadliest Catch"--Check out the size of those legs!

Mary really *wants* to like the crab so she nibbles the same bit for half an hour.

Harrison wants to try, too. He doesn't like it. Bryce stuck a fish stick in a hollow leg later so he could pretend to eat crab. Mary found a more interesting thing to do than eat her crustacean--she wears it.
