The Little Things

Creature Comforts

For a while now, Greg has enjoyed having his "B" (blankie) tucked behind his head while he eats in his high chair. And he often chooses a current favorite toy to share his meal with him. Tonight it was his new forklift that we found while shopping for a birthday present for Robby (who just turned 14!).

Dinner Tonight

I made a modified version of this recipe for dinner tonight. Couldn't find the ditalini it called for so I used this great Italian super rotini from our in-town European Market and it was such a hit with Greg! He ate his entire dinner all by himself and asked for "moaw" a couple of times! I guess I can't go wrong with recipes that include pasta, chickpeas and bacon for Greg.

Popcorn treat

Jeff and I have been treating ourselves to a bowl of popcorn just about every other night. Jeff pops it in our Cuisinart popper and seasons it with salt and freshly shredded Parmesan cheese. Today, we received an order of locally grown popcorn from Riehle's Select Popcorn, and tonight we enjoyed their Ruby Red variety.

What we ate today: 1/6

For dinner: Celery root puree (soup) from the current issue of Blueprint. It was OK but I'm not going to make it again.
