  • A license for a little laziness

    So, with my first baby, I made almost all of her baby food from scratch and just assumed that jar food was not as nutritous or tasty.  I’d heat up my little ice cube trays of squash and peas to just the right temperature and mix in some nice rice cereal.  Now with my second baby, I had to start right off the bat with some jar food and he usually has to eat in cold because we are in the car or at camp or at the beach or somewhere where there is no microwave for miles.  Today I was feeling a little guilty about not making any baby food for David so I decided to boil and mash some carrots that were just about to start rotting in the back of my fridge anyway. 


    When I was all done making the homemade carrot mush, I decided to give myself an ego boost and see how colorful the homeade carrot mush was compared to jar food.


    As you can see – there is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE!  I am free to feed David all the jar food in the world!!  I’m so excited.   Especially after the second batch of carrots turned out like this because I forgot they were boiling all the stove and all the water evaporated……

  • I just realized that the SuDoku puzzle I have been working on lately is from the March 19th Sunday paper.  


    It is not that I suck at SuDoku, it’s just that that is how busy I am.  Yikes!

  • Where the heck have I been???

    Wow, it has been almost a month since my last post.  My only excuse is that it is summer and I have been “carpe dieming it up”.  The weather is beautiful, we have lots to do, and Delaney’s bedtime has somehow shifted to 10pm from 8pm.  So I usually put her to bed and then just fall into my own bed now.  So…..let’s see…um, I went to a wedding in Bimmington, NY where and I had too much to drink and then helped lead cheers from the balcony where my friends and I were sequestered, danced with the bride’s gay hairdresser and then played “wing-woman” for my single friend Jay since Jonathan was at home.  But it was such a blast to hang out with the gang again.  I’m posting this picture because I thought I was being so good and documenting all the Ithaca people at the wedding.  Then when I got home I realized that the bride and groom are not in the picture.  Oh well, you can’t win them all.
