[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 477293, member: 11791"] I was a REALLY picky eater as a kid. Mom worked with me to find a few "normal things" that people (i.e. extended family and close friends) would be likely to have around the house... most people have bread (sorry, if they don't, we bring... bread is a "staple" - for a minimum, its rice-cakes!), and jam... I loved PB, so that helped at some homes (unless there was a peanut allergy...). The brilliant one she fell into was scrambled eggs; couldn't stand fried or boiled, but dry-scrambled (no sticky egg stuff left) turned out to be OK. "Everybody" has eggs around, or egg-beaters, or some equivalent... (well, maybe not your sister in law?) Mom cut a deal with the rest of the family that if there was not enough available of the foods I would eat... she'd scramble up a couple of eggs, I'd always eat bread, and I wouldn't starve. She was right. Not only did it reduce the need for major scenes, it made the whole "family gathering" thing less stressful for ME... so I behaved better. See if you can find a couple of things that your difficult child already likes or can learn in the next month... that are based on simple, common ingredients. [/QUOTE]
