No action figure will convince a 2-year-old to eat velvety chicken liver mousse on rye with shallot confit and tangerine marmalade. And that's the trouble with Steve McDonagh and Dan Smith's son, a simple fella who digs plain pasta and chicken tenders. And licking plain ketchup off of his finger. But kiddie-faves like pizza and mac and cheese? Eww. "It's some karma for something that we've done," McDonagh laughs. "He changes his mind on a daily basis as to what he likes and what he really hates," Smith adds. "He liked hot dogs yesterday. Today, he'll probably hate them." For simple anti-culinary couples, this would be rough. For McDonagh and Smith, known as "The Hearty Boys" for their foodie-fingers and no-sweat recipes, it's more unfortunate than Britney Spears' VMA performance.

Cleveland emerges as a dining hot spot
In his latest book, the world-famous food writer insists that everybody should be using veal stock in their home kitchen. He advises all meat eaters to slaughter and eat their kill once in their lives. And earlier this year, on his influential Web site ruhlman.com, he launched a withering attack on the unsuspecting chicken Caesar salad.
So you might think that this dashing uber-foodie would make his home in a culinary capital such as New York, San Francisco or even Chicago, right?

Baked Mediterranean Cod
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with vegetable cooking spray. Arrange the dish in a single layer in the dish and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook 5 minutes or until it is translucent. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes, lemon juice, capers, olives, sugar, oregano and basil. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring several times. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Spoon the sauce over the fish, place in the oven and bake until the fish is opaque in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

The Vital Spark
The only shop on the island is open and the café is doing brisk business in bacon rolls. In winter, this café, which is owned by the islanders, only opens when the ferry comes in and on Friday and Saturday evenings when it metamorphoses into a bar. Tales are swapped of parties that started mid-afternoon and ended who knows when. One man has lost his front teeth, perhaps in a septic tank. He does not look unduly concerned. Appearances do not count for much in these parts. Maggie Fyffe, the sole employee of the Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust, introduces her daughter, Tasha, who has been taking a course in Indian head massage, which involves days at college in Inverness. Among other services she provides are age delaying, mind relaxing, stress releasing and "zest restoring". Like the rest of the islanders, Tasha cannot wait for electricity to come, when she will be able to switch on the washing machine without giving it a second thought.
Mother seeks retrial in death
After Andrew would have a full serving, if he asked for more, they would try something that they thought he wouldn't like in order to cause him not to want more. First they tried lemon, which didn't work because he ended up liking it. Then they tried spices, which didn't work because he ended up liking them, too. (Suggest removal) .
