My kitten likes chili.
How did I make this discovery? Well, I had made myself a small taco salad, using chili blanco (chicken and white bean chili) left over from dinner, carrots, chopped fresh tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice on lettuce. I’d eaten most of it when the phone rang. If I remember the contents of the bowl correctly, when I left it it contained about 2 bites of lettuce, one small piece of chicken, a few tomato bits, some beans and some of the liquid from the chili.
Memory, however, is what I must rely upon in this matter, because upon my return I found an empty bowl, just receiving its last polishing from an ardently wielded kitten tongue. She’d eaten every bite, vegetables and all, and was purring loudly enough to be heard in surrounding states.
Now if I could just convince my bipedal child that if I’m eating it, it must be the most fabulous of gastronimic delights, I’d be thrilled!
