Not my idea of lunch

Cora has been very good at feeding herself for a number of months now. I give her the food and the fork or spoon, and she takes care of business. Often these days, I don't even need to wipe down her face and hands when she is finished.
I say all this to preface today's story and photo.
For dinner on Sunday, we had pasta with broccoli and salmon, with alfredo sauce. Cora enjoyed hers (though she didn't eat much of the fish), and there was just enough left for a lunch portion. I heated it for her on Monday, and gave her a smoothie to drink, with the lid off the cup because the seeds kept getting stuck in the spout.
I sat down near her to eat my sandwich, expecting to finish Cora's leftovers when she was full.
A short while later, I glanced up to see that Cora decided to test out a new recipe she created. She had dumped the berry smoothie into the lunch. Yum!
Needless to say, the leftovers went down the garbage disposal. What a waste of good salmon!
(If the photo at right is making you queasy, scroll down for adorable pics of Cora in the snow.)
