So - I've been holding on to this post for a few weeks and now is a good time to share.
My kids love seaweed. In fact many more kids seem to be enjoying snacking on seaweed "nori" as it seems to be more known as these days. "Nori" is the Japanese name for it. My mother and father, who are of a different generation of Korean's, won't call it "nori." So, for their sake, I'll call it "kimbob" (with a hard "K" sound).
Once when we had some kids over, they all sat around the table eating strips of roasted salted seaweed like they were potato chips!
So now, for both Christophe and Cory, I pack them kimbob (nori rolls). This is Christopher's lunch. The little packet on the side is Furikake. He loves to eat it with his training chopsticks. I had an earful one day when I forgot to pack his chopsticks! Our Japanese friend absolutely hates it when we pronounce furkiake wrong. I think when I pronounce it wrong, I must be somehow saying something insulting about her mother or something...
For Cory, I roll them flatter, like a tri-folded omelet and cut them into bite size pieces. The teachers at the day care say he loves it. Who wouldn't?
