Beef... It's What's for Dinner? Along with Rice, Potatoes, Chicken, Fruit, Veggies...

The Girl makes eating an art form. No, that's not right. She takes it seriously, like it is her job. Her full time, high-paying, great benefits, corner office job. She's incredible. We all know that the altitude plays a huge role in our drastic weight loss and her lack of weight gain, but after less than 3 weeks in the States, she has gained a whopping 4 pounds. She's gone from 10% to... well, a lot more than 10%!

Today, she had half of a Baja Fresh quesadilla for lunch with rice and applesauce. I thought for sure she wouldn't be hungry for dinner until 6pm. At 5:30 she started crying and climbing into her seat. When I finally served dinner, she wolfed down two meatballs and two bowls of spaghetti plus corn and a little bread. She topped it off with 12 ounces of milk. At one point, she gave me and The Boy a startled look like, "When did you two sit down?" Seriously, she's incredible.
I have thought about cutting her off and making her get down from the table, but she usually cries or tries to steal food from the other kids. So far, she hasn't puked... okay, just once... but she had a ridiculous amount of food that time (in Tarija - but everyone eats a ridiculous amount of food in Tarija!).

Here's a picture of her and her mush. Click the picture for more of our adventures here in Cali in the past week.
