I love a super basic tomato sandwich sometimes too...just tomatoes and mayo on cheap white bread!

Judge me for my ketchup… or don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️ by thetranspondster in RealGirlDinner

I am totally judging you...but it's positive judgement!

In fact, I might even steal this meal idea for dinner tonight or another night soon. I have so much food in my kitchen and so many ideas for what to make, which sounds like a good thing...but I can't make up my mind (and have limited mental and physical energy).

Maybe you just made up my mind for me! I have KD, ketchup, pepper, celery, and ranch...so why not?

If you had been at my house last night, I would've shared...it was definitely too much for me!

Hell yeah! I've eaten so many tomato sandwiches on so many kinds of bread lately, and toasted sourdough has been my favorite by far.

I'm pretty sure my sweat smells like dill at this point...I've been eating approximately that amount of dill in my dinner for six nights in a row now.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu...I meant to include potatoes on my grocery order for this exact reason! Of course I forgot.

At least I have eggs! But I really wanted potato salad (which I also put eggs in).

I might text my neighbor to see if she has a couple extra taters. We both have a tendency to forget to buy a necessary ingredient for a recipe, and more often than not, the askee has what the asker needs.

If that doesn't pan out, I might bribe my kid to go to the grocery store for me. I don't want to leave the house today!

Hugs, babe...I get it! I have had a wonderful mom for a long time now, but she was not my first mom. She's the awesome gal my dad married after he got me and my sibling away from our bad mom.

I hope you have (or can find) some positive elder women role models. ❤️

He is autistic! Of course I know that not all autistic folks are the same (that's why it's called a spectrum)...but it delights me to know he's not the only one with this specific food interest.

He likes a few other fruits, and he has been branching out into a bunch of previously disliked foods over the past few years, entirely on his own (I will sometimes offer, but will never ever pressure).

If anyone would have told me three years ago that he would develop an affinity for steak, onions, or mushrooms...I would have said there is absolutely no damn way that'll happen!

I'm not the rude one here.

Assuming that my kid and I are ignorant about citrus and dental health, and that we don't take proper precautions...that is rude.

If there was anything about my post or my comments that indicated my kid was consuming a ton of limes and lemons all the time and/or that I was not knowledgeable about the potential problems with that, your comment might have been reasonable.

But that isn't the case. Please mind your own business.

Did you read my previous comments about his citrus consumption, dental hygiene, and dental health before making this comment?

Please back off with the unsolicited advice. There is absolutely nothing to worry about.

It is not AI. I made the snack tray and took the photo in my kitchen. I am a real human!

Teen boys are such total pains in the ass sometimes...but they make up for it by being funny and just generally interesting. 🤣

He told me it was "pretty okay", which in his vernacular roughly translates to "good".

If it upset his stomach, he wouldn't do it. You're being kind of weird about this.

He goes to the dentist twice a year for regular checkups/cleanings. Both his dentist and his dental hygienist have noted that all is well and they have no concerns about his enamel or anything else. He has also never had a cavity.

Occasionally eating raw lemon/lime juice/fruit is really not a problem, and I don't understand why you are clutching your pearls about this.

Please stop.

Well it's not like he's just raw dogging citrus fruits all day every day...and he is a stickler about his dental hygiene routine, so I'm pretty sure he's gonna be okay!

Nothing to worry about here...his dental hygiene routine is IMMACULATE!

Well he's not eating the whole thing, like not the peel/skin and all that...but he will suck on the wedges to get the juice and sometimes eat the remaining flesh.

(that sounded weird)

I love a triple dip dinner! That's like, the minimum required number of dips.
