Saturday am, Ben refused to eat no matter what I did to the food;  Parmesan 
Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, Cheddar Cheese, heating, etc.  Put out  2 other 
brands of food, and still no dice, so in frustration, I picked up the  food 
and put it in the refrigerator.  Then in the evening he  ate it w/o any 
prodding or begging.  Sunday morning I put  his cheese covered food down, along 
with a bowl of Rachel Ray's Nutrish  food.  First off, he sniffed both and 
then proceeded to empty the Nutrish  all over the floor and nibble a few 
pieces.  Then he pushed the other bowl  all around the kitchen, and after 
several reheats and recheesing, he ate  it.  This process to about 4 minutes from 
start until the bowl was  empty. Sunday evening the same routine, sans 
knocking the Nutrish over  the floor. This is not including the time imploring 
him to come into the kitchen  to eat, while he just laid on his chair like he 
was deaf and did not  hear. I know he is  not deaf, because this  afternoon, 
I was  talking to Kathy in another room and said I wanted to go to Home 
Depot and  take Ben along for the ride, and he was at my side faster than you 
could say  Jack Robinson.  This morning it was almost an hour before he 
finally  ate, again pushing the bowl around the kitchen, multiple heatings and 
cheesings  and pleading and ordering.  This evening it was relatively 
quick-only took  about half an hour to finish dinner with only a few reheats and  
recheeses.  I kid you not about this, as Kathy will gladly verify  things.  At 
least it gives her between 30 and 60 minutes twice a day  when she can sit 
and relax, as any activity will quickly shut him down and no  more eating.
