Oh no..I have to worry about the lbs A LOT! I think I have the metabolism of a hermit crab...if they have slow metabolisms. At any rate, something very slow. And aging isn't making it any better. Nor does my love for sweets.

I do agree with the hot food on cold days thing. But we don't get too many COLD days and if I want hot, I eat soup. I love soup.

Hey MsA:

Ever thought of publishing your recipes?
I've known others to do it.

You certainly have plenty of great ideas to fill a book full of delicious goodies.

Ew. I tried it recently. Like really recent as in a few years ago. Our cat was deathly sick so the vet said to give her baby food. So of course I had to try it. It was gross x500. But it was a meat one so maybe thats why.
I would guess apple isn't so bad because maybe it was like apple sauce?

Yeah, due to living in a backwards country I've never had apple sauce (we can fix that when come over, so many things to eat...), but I imagine it's pretty similar. Just a paste, that tastes like apple. Kinda like the filling in apple pie-ish?

A hell of a lot better than mushed up meaty bits I'm certain.

I'm gonna gross Zeek out even more, but I used to like the Turkey baby food. The thought now make me but I used to like it.

Plums are supposedly good. I don't like cooked/mashed/dried/etc fruit, so apple sauce and the like are not my thing...but I hear the plums are good.

The plum isn't bad, but the blueberry was always my fave when my sisters were little.

Navy, try homemade applesauce.. not the storebought stuff.. for your first time.

Speaking of which, MsA...
Mamma Holmes' Baby Food Recipes:
(helpful hint: freeze them in ice cube trays, instant single serving!)

Take one sweet potato or yam. Bake until the sugar starts to seep out of the skin (350F for "a while"). Scoop it out. Mash it up. Start shoveling.
Carrots: scrub well or peel and steam until soft enough to mash with a fork. Make with the smooshy. Serves one, briefly.
Applesauce: See carrots, same basic idea. Skins not an option unless you can blenderize the hell out of it. Gagging baby not fun.
Peas: Fresh peas, steam, smoosh. Nom nom.
Avocado: Take 1 ripe avocado. Fork it. Freeze, or serve fresh.

Let's face it, eventually even mixing in baby cereal doesn't cut it.. they want TEXTURE!

So I give you

Egg and avocado: (for the advanced diner). Make 1 scrambled egg. Take some ripe avocado. Mash and mix. Lay claim to unused avocado, you deserve it.
Also popular variant- egg and applesauce. Same basic principle. Not as tasty in a sandwich for mommy, though.

I never tried him on beets because I don't like them. Neither does Doctroid. We are a beet-free zone.

A warning about blueberries: Do not freak out at the next diaper change.

Avery: like the homemade baby food recipes. They probably taste better than jarred (sp?) baby food (I had to eat a jar of baby food once for a science project, we were making ice cream in the jars, but the teacher made us eat the mush first, it was pretty tasteless). Must try them when I eventually have kids :P (or babysit a fairly young baby)

Gigglesnort Rosie yup that's pretty much what I had in mind. I got a bunch of different squashes and carrots and peas from our local organic farm and parboiled and froze them so that once Johnny is ready for foods I can steam and puree them. Also bought their nifty velvety textured applesauce. I love the lable on it.. Ingredients : apples, water

Hey MSA we used to do that. we would get them to make the dough for mini pizzas from scratch and then choose their own toppings. on lazy days we'd use English muffins. we also taught them to make Gnocchi, Naan, Chapati, Hommus etc etc. back when I was coordinating I was really into nutritious afternoon teas and enhancing the kids life skills and culinary experiences. ah how I miss those days..I suggested some of this stuff at the place I work now and got some weird looks. so sad.

I remember talking about salads before. I love me some salad with:

Romaine and spinach lettuce
Garbanzo Beans
Kidney beans
Corn
Peas
Broccoli
Cauliflower
red onion
red bell pepper
yellow bell pepper
grape tomatos (but only if they look really good. I can't stand biting into one that is bad but you have to swallow because that's the only polite way to deal with it)
black olives
Sunflower seeds
bacon bits
honey mustard dressing
black pepper.

Yum.

Maybe that's what I'll have for lunch today.

I still like fruit, some fruit I like a lot. I've always been fond of it. But after eating most fruits I always found that my mouth and throat felt mildly itchy. But it wasn't bad enough to stop me eating it, I just ignored it. In recent times it's been getting a lot worse. It takes less fruit to get me quite irritated, and at one point last year after a particularly banana-full banana milkshake (about 4 whole bananas got blended into it) it really felt very difficult to breathe and was scary.

So yeah, I decided that I might be a tad allergic to fruits. I still eat it, just more sparingly. And I still love orange and apple juice.

O_o that's weird. and scary :\

O_O *turns slowly towards the door* neighbor just stepped into the hallway outside...and abruptly burst out laughing..

Spontaneous Ponder: What makes you laugh?

Recently I went to help my brother move, and while I was putting his shiny new TV table together, I was watching a movie called "Little Miss Sunshine" with Abigail Breslin (and a stacked cast). There's one scene where the family is pulled over by a cop in their oooooold VW van/bus thing, and when the father (Greg Kinnear) gets out, his horn gets stuck in 'on' mode. Only thing is, instead of blaring like horns normally do when someone is leaning on them, this horn sounds like it's emitting its final dying wail. Mind you this goes on for about four minutes...four minutes of lingering on and off wailing of a dying car horn

I had tears streaming down my face, and I couldn't eat (bro had brought home pizza at this point) or secure another piece onto the TV table until long after the scene was over. Every once in a while that sound will pop into my head again and I'll just start laughing. Mostly happens at work when I'm bored so I have to keep my laughter silent.

Ugh!

I am being sent somewhere in the middle of nowhere mid April for a community speech pathology prac, and don't want to find myself without a working computer. I had to settle for a $645 Compaq not too pricey yet still a big chunk out of my finances. also I really wanted a MAC. Sigh it's like getting a Toyota when you really want a VW or a subaru. I'm a bit scared as Compaq are technically HP and I don't trust em (for good reasons.

Sarcastic or dry humor is my favorite but it has to be really good to actually get me to laugh. Playing with my cat can get me to actually laugh. Especially when I play hide and go seek with her and I know she knows where I am but she's being all sneaky and quiet. That gets me to actually laugh.

I guess that goes in the category of "even the slightest funny thing when you're in a situation where it's not polite to laugh". Even more so when you're with someone else and you're both trying not to laugh. That can cause more laughter than anything for me.

Yeah, it's not exactly lethal, but it certainly made me take the itchyness a lil more seriously. And you have a handbook? and whims needs a copy of this? Am I really so distrusted with my own well being?

As for the laughing thing, I'm one for rather dry sarcastic and often times dark humour. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate a good (terrible) pun or video of someone falling in a puddle or something. And I've got to agree that the trying not to laugh moments are great. Once you no longer have to stifle it and can escape and let it all explode with your fellow laugh-holder-in-ers then its good times.

the trying not to laugh at inappropriate times is often difficult The people I work with at afterschool care are lovely, but some of them are inclined to employ unecessary empowerment tactics with the older kids. it's sometimes really hard to keep a straight face when the kids themselves are trying not to laugh. the other day the program coordinator and I had to go outside so her number two couldn't see us laughing at her fumbling attempts to assert herself with the older kids re something nonsensical and harmless they'd done. although her actions were uncalled for we didn't want to undermine her in front of the kids. A few minutes later some of the year 6 kids that were not involved but had been observing came outside to crack up. there was a silent moment when they realised we were out there. they looked at us, we looked at them and we all burst out laughing. Luckily I wasn't the one who had to talk to the staff member later about what she'd done. we felt kind of bad, but we have all tried to help her understand the best way to deal with older kids and she just won't listen.

Boris: I'd recommend a Lenovo as opposed to a compaq or an HP. If you go to the Lenovo outlet online you can get a nice laptop for not that much. I got a refurbished (refurbished doesn't necessarily mean fixed, they apply the 'refurbished' term meaning the item was returned to factory opened or unopened, and they checked it out to make sure everything works before they redistribute it) G530 for $376, put windows 7 on it (came with vista) and it works GREAT. most of their laptops average between 400-600. When in doubt go Lenovo, but I hope your new laptop works well for you. computer trouble always sucks.

Good luck on eventually getting the Mac!

Wait aren't you already dead to me? Next you're going to say you're cheering for the Colts in the Super Bowl.

LOL Navy honey you do an awesome job taking care of yourself( though I wish you'd sleep more and eat more veg), but as Whims is hosting you and wants to be a good host she wanted to know what sorts of things to feed you and such so I made her a little handbook with some recipes that avoid all teh foods you don't like:)

Boris.. oh I love it when the adults are doing "I can relate" crap. 90% of the time it's so laughable the kids are doing a good job just to keep from falling about laughing.

Oh happy day... Johnny is now sleeping in the crib for 4 hours. I actually went to bed and got almost 4 hours of sleep.YAY
