Last week, Franny helped me make a curry chicken salad that included currants.  If she is cooking, Franny is much more adventurous with tasting the ingredients, especially vegetables and herbs—I’ve seen her eat a whole broccoli stem, although she insists she doesn’t like vegetables.  Had I just offered her currants, she probably would have never tried them.  But, ever since we made our salad, they have become one of Franny’s favorite snacks, and I always tease her by calling them fancy raisins.  Today, Cole decided he wanted to join in on the currant craze.  Such fancy kids we have!
