A Taste of College Life

Ellie is a super picky eater.  I don't think she has an aversion to most foods.  I think it's more of a control issue and not wanting to try.  She's certainly not a stranger to food, though.  Anyway, earlier in the week we ordered pizza and they gave us the wrong pizza.  Around dinner time yesterday I decided to just toss the half with olives and mushrooms since none of us would eat it.  I pulled the pizza box out of the fridge and Ellie started jumping and yelling "PIZZA PIZZA!"  When I walked toward the door with it, she started to pitch a fit.  I choose my battles, and didn't think this was a worthy one, particularly knowing what she was about to get herself into.  So, I sat her in her chair and handed her a piece of cold mushroom and olive pizza.  Much to our surprise, she scarfed the whole thing down!  I guess she showed me.  From now on when I want her to try something, I'm going to just put it on pizza.  Weirdo!
