pass the eucalyptus leaves, please

we were having my family over for dinner last night, and cody decided he wanted to cook the dinner.
i had decided on lasagna,
he had another menu planned.

we went out to the community garden to pick some fresh lettuce.
he picked some eucalyptus leaves. came back in.
i washed my lettuce leaves, he washed his eucalyptus leaves, put them in a bowl, set them out on the table.
then he went into the fridge, took out the plain pasta (leftovers) that was there, added an entire jar of pesto, and then sprinkled some cinnamon in it.. he put it out on the table. then he poured a bowl of cheerios, and took some rice cakes and smeared them with peanut butter. and put it all out on the table.

so we had lasagna, salad, garlic bread, peas, eucalyptus leaves, rice cakes with peanut butter, pasta with pesto and cinnamon.
yum.

in my defense, i'll just say that i was glad that he was using his powers for good, not evil.
(and at least i got MY menu done, which i would not have if he had decided to spend his time throwing pineapple chunks at the dog).

of course, later when the family came over, they all felt that when he passed the eucalyptus leaves, they had to eat some.
