But, it has taken a little time for Zeke to warm up to the taste and textures of American foods, and he still prefers rice to french fries (crazy, I know!) and noodles to pizza. So, I've tried my best to make some of the Asian dishes that Zeke was fond of in China because let's face it, we all need a little comfort food now and then. However, I'm afraid my cooking skills are greatly lacking in this area. My sticky rice is REALLY sticky but not in a good way, and my congee soup doesn't at all resemble what I saw on the breakfast buffet at our hotel. So, as a matter of survival, Zeke has plunged into the world of American cuisine faster than I preferred.
On Thanksgiving day, I fed him early since our lunch wouldn't begin until after noon. But, as soon as I fixed my plate, he began circling my food like a scavenger bird and gladly excepted anything I was willing to share. So, here's the lowdown of all Zeke tried and loved at Thanksgiving: turkey, ham, cornbread dressing (both regular and jalapeno), deviled egg, pea salad, pasta salad, green bean casserole, broccoli rice, buttered bread, and many many desserts! He was one stuffed turkey!
