I’d love to try the sweet and sour chicken recipe. Here’s the essay I submitted:
There is something magical about Dole’s canned fruit products since they attract my family like a kitchen magnet to a steel refrigerator door. That is why I regularly keep Dole canned fruit in our pantry. And, interestingly, akin to the wonder of magnets, I’ve found that opposites do attract. For instance, my picky 5 year old who seems to repel eating, let alone trying, most things that are healthy is strongly drawn to Dole’s nutritious canned mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks. Since they are naturally fat and cholesterol free and rich in vitamin C, I am delighted to serve “Mr. Finicky” his Dole “treat” whether right out of the can, with yogurt or in his favorite gelatin mold.
Yes, the invisible force between Dole canned fruit and my family’s tummies is powerful and real. I’ve read that once a piece of steel is magnetized, it will be attracted to other metals indefinitely. I have a strong suspicion the same magnetism holds true for my family’s love of Dole canned fruit.
