Learning to Feed

Wifey's got a bun in the oven! Truth be told, I started this blog a bit after the time I found out, but could not say anything because, y'know, wouldn't have been appropriate. Learning to feed the little bugger, it'll be a challenge.

I've told most of my friends, but it you're a friend whose finding out from this blog, my apologies. If you are a friend of B's, well, call her!

A lot more to ruminate on this subject, obviously, but I think I'll take it slow.

ADDENDA:
To think, I cooked a fantastic dinner almost from scratch (B is repulsed by the idea of sausage making equipment), and it's been demoted to addenda. That's what a baby'll do to ya.

BREAKFAST: 10:30am, good yogurt with honey, vanilla, cashews, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
Haven't had this healthy breakfast in a while, felt good.

AFTERNOON DRUGGING: 12:15pm, 2 Tylenol
Thumping headache. Got 12 hours sleep last night. Could be related?

LUNCH: 2pm, baby spinach salad with oil & vinegar, butternut squash soup, organic cheesy poofs, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Had to make and eat salad, or toss the stuff because it'll go bad in a few days. Simple salad, baby spinach, grated carrot, diced cucumber and red onion, dressed with olive oil, balsamic and sea salt. Ate the soup with Garden of Eating puffed cheese doodles, not that great but a good crunch compliment to blender soup.

PM SNACK: 3:30pm, 1 small lump of cookie dough, one freshly baked peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, .25 bowl, hunger 3/5
Made cookies for the wifey when she gets home. My headache receded greatly when I ate this, which makes me think it's sugar related. Hmmmm.

PM SNACK: 5pm, 2 cookies, .25 bowls, hunger 4/5
They wouldn't fit in the cookie jar! They had to be eaten!

DINNER: 7pm, garlic pork sausage poached in cider and kraut, 1 cookie, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Browned the fresh sausage from Whole Foods in peanut oil, then considered what to cook it in. Had all this fresh fermented kraut, salty and tangy, needs sweetness. Thought of peeling and cooking in an apple, then saw the fresh quart of cider in the fridge! Ahh! Liquid and sweetness and appliness all in one! Through in the kraut and cider, covered, and simmered for an hour, a shallow poach in c-school language. Came out surprisingly well, the funkiness of the stinky kraut brought into mild range with cooking and sweetening, a slight apply taste. The sausage was well done but still juicy.
