Sticky Coconut Chicken, Rice cooked in Chicken broth, Crunchy Napa
Cabbage Slaw. I cut the chili pepper in half in the marinade for the
chicken, but left it the same in the glaze. I wondered how the kids
would handle it, but they all gobbled it up.

6* to 8 boned, skinned chicken thighs (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lb. total)

2. Lift chicken from bowl, reserving marinade; pull thighs open and lay
flat on a lightly oiled barbecue grill over a solid bed of hot coals or
high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2
to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook, turning thighs as needed to
brown on both sides, until meat is no longer pink in center of thickest
part (cut to test), 10 to 12 minutes, basting frequently with remaining

That sounds good! I wonder if I can get Miguel (DH) to try it -- he
says he doesn't like coconut, but I think it's just the shreds that
get to him...

Rich doesn't particularly care for coconut, but he likes things
cooked with coconut milk. We've decided it's the sweetened coconut
mixed with savory that he doesn't like. He has come to like coconut in
desserts, sparingly, but he'll eat them now.

They may be unusual, but I think it is the work of the parents more
than the kids. People all over the world eat other food besides hot
dogs, pizza, etc, and it's not that somehow they all just start
spontaneously eating those things when they turn 21.

I was proud of my almost one-year old boys for gobbling down cheese
quesadillas -- nearly one each -- at the Mexican restaurant last
night. The servers seemed pleased to see children enjoying their
food, too. Cheese quesadillas sound pretty kid-friendly, but there
are always several children in my class who won't eat Mexican food
when we go on a field trip for Cinqo de Mayo.
