Once upon a time Cy would probably have been petty enough to pick around every single grain of rice... the last couple weeks, he'd just look at the bowl and then walk away, even when everything was all mixed together. (He was getting rice, cottage cheese, and chicken, mushed together.) Couldn't separate the rice out, so refused to eat anything. Spoiled brat, haha.

Maybe if we make it one cup of rice (or even a half cup) and substitute in more bread. Start with very little rice and add a bit more until we find the limit of what he'll deal with... Or maybe mixed with beef will be different!

He's still enjoying the food samples, so I'm glad that the ones we've tried so far *are* an option... I hope that when we try out the home recipe he's as enthusiastic.
