I love this show and everyone on it. Wanted to tell Jameka that my grandson eats pasta all the time too.. He took a thermos to preschool every day with pasta in it. He is in 2nd grade and still takes pasta for lunch. The only other choice he gives us is a peanut butter sandwich. No jelly. His favorite school lunch is chicken nuggets which they rarely offer. He has loved my meatballs since he was little.
