Real English Forty-three: special of the day

Last week was Thanksgiving in America.

On the same day, I went to an American restaurant for dinner.

After looking at the menu, 

I asked the waitress,  "What is the special of the day?"

She said, "You are American, right?"

I said, "Yes."

Then she said, "Well then, today is your lucky day!  The special of the day is turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie for dessert."

I said, "I'll take it."

Speaking of food, recently Taiga began to eat a little.  

You can see his brunch the other day below.

It is all home-made, nothing frozen, and it takes my wife a long time and a lot of energy and thoughts and planning to make.

Taiga shows his appreciation of all of her hard work by never leaving even a morsel of food.

Even if he falls asleep in the middle of the meal, which he sometimes does, he always finishes everything.

As some people recently tell me, he resembles his grandfather more and more every day.

From the left, then top to bottom:

 tomato, rice, carrots, turnip, and last but not least pumpkin.

FYI, Taiga doesn't like tomato so much but likes pumpkin a lot! (just like his father!)  Actually, in my case, I didn't like pumpkin when I was a child, 

but after I became an adult, I changed. 

Now, I love it!!!)
