Tonight as we sat down to eat dinner, Meera just had to run to get her (old, inherited, early model) iphone to take a picture of her plate again. This is becoming a thing for her. It was one of her favorite dinners (we call it “Gwyny’s Chicken”; I have posted about this dinner before here and here). It drives her brothers crazy when she holds up our whole dinner so she can capture her plate photographically (sorta like how it drives her papi crazy when her mommy does the same thing in restaurants). As she was taking photos she was enthusiastically proclaiming, “It is just beautiful! Look at the colors!” The whole entire thing just cracks me up. After she had finished her “so delicious!” dinner (she’s always the first to finish), while the rest of us were still eating and talking around the table, she cleared her place, hurriedly got out paper and oil pastels, brought them to the table… and proceeded to draw it out — now capturing/expressing the dinner experience artistically (the drawing is of her at the table, with her meal in front of her). Too, too funny!
