[blparent] What-You-Got Casserole

[Elizabeth Cooks]

Lol. Perhas you should put raille labels on your cans.  That is what I do 
when I can have someone over to read them to me.  For the moment, i put 
canned meats and soups on one shelf, and fruits and vegies on another. 
Sounds like your little one wanted ot have some fun.
