My little man Ben is a great eater. He will try just about anything, loves just about everything and rarely says no to an unknown food item. He is the type of eater that every mother loves to have, not picky and willing to at the very least give it a try.
Now with this adventurous eating personality there is another side that you may not be aware of and that is the self creation of food dishes.
Ben loves "sauce" better know as ranch, ketchup, or mustard on EVERYTHING. No I am not exaggerating when I say everything, I mean pancakes, eggs, fruit, mac and cheese, hot dogs, vegetables, everything he eats must have a sauce with it on his plate and he really doesn't care which one you choose for him, just a sauce. I hae seen him use yogurt as a sauce, mayonaise on occasion if there isn't anything else.
Recently he has developed a dish called cheez-it soup. Which is cheez-its or goldfish with apple juice poured over the top. (Yes that equates to soggy disinegrating cheez-its in a bowl of cold apple juice.)
Another infamous Ben drink is orange soda and coke mixed together or milk and coke mixed together. (I made him quit the last one with the milk, I was too afraid it would make a reappearance later and I was NOT interested in cleaning it up.)
His latest creation today was baked beans, hot dogs and cantaloupe mixed together. I get the beanie-weenie part, but he lost me at the cantaloupe.
Maybe one day this fascination with mixing foods will end by him being an illustrious chef with a famous restaurant, but for right now I am staying away from his creations. I prefer not to throw up.

Oh my gosh that is too funny. I use to eat ketchup on my eggs, but I guess he's got me beat! And it reminds me of a little boy I saw the other day at the student center (who must have been on campus for a camp) get a bread bowl and fill it up with goldfish - I wondered what what going through his head with that combo!
that is totally gross
