food for thought

I have decided that I really enjoy making baby food. It gives me such a sense of accompishment when I come up with a new recipe or food that I can feed Georgia Mae. When I start making it, I just want to keep going with new combinations and I want to run out to the store and buy new containers to store the baby food in. The only thing more exciting to me right now is thinking of all the new foods she will be able to eat in just a couple of months and all the new combinations I can come up with.
I am in the process of putting together a cookbook. I obviously really enjoy cooking, so I have decided to put together this book to share my recipes and get rich in the process....and if it doesn't work out, at least I will have all my recipes in one place. I was thinking that I might include a baby food section. Baby food is really easy to make, so I will have to come up with something new or perhaps grown up recipes that can be tweeked for babies.



The other day, while in a bookstore, I realised that any idiot can write and publish a cookbook..why not that idiot be me.

keeping busy

So the last time I posted was a while ago. I am going to start things off slowly. Ben suggested I start writing on here again to stop me from doing things around the house like hanging heavy mirrors on one screw and mounting shelves slightly crooked. These things, in his book, are a man's job...or a woman with more patience than me. I just want it done, and I want it done now! That is how I live my life. :D I am sure I would take more time to do things if I had it. Right now, the only time I have to actually get stuff done, is between naps. I am currently writing this with both hands while the baby sleeps in her highchair.
Winter is upon us, and I see alot of boredom in my future. We have moved away from centretown to a quiet street at the edge on hintonburgh..or as the locals like to call it "the wellington village". I was all for this, and don't get me wrong, I still am. It's just a big adjustment to make when all you have is your baby and your dog as company for most of the day. At least in centretown I could have walked places. Here, the only places I can walk to require me to spend money. I do have a car, which means I can pretty much go anywhere...so I don't know what has changed...it's just different.
I have recently resorted to reading the newspaper to my 5 month old. It seems to amuse her quite a bit. She laughs at the articles I make outraged faces to while reading them. We read our horoscope on a daily basis and that seems to amuse her too. I tried to read her the cartoons, but let's face it, the cartoons in the Ottawa Sun are not that great.
And on that note, I bid you farewell...for now.
