knowledge through nonsense

• 14:26 sometimes breastfeeding will, once again, inexplicably work. i wish i understood why so i could understand the times when it is why not. #
• 14:59 are all breastfeeding pix against the rules on FB? #bfing #
• 15:02 does anyone else's baby have a boob preference? she will only take from the right breast . maddening. #bfing #breastfeeding #

lili on her bouncy horse at grandma's.
she has 8 teeth now and another on the way!
she is also getting close to standing on her own.



breastfeeding has been challenging, to say the least.
but here is a photo to prove to myself that sometimes, inexplicably, it will work.
i treasure these moments more than i could ever say because i never know what moment will be the last one like this.
(don't mind me looking like a total wreck and violet's eczema)

a kind person bought me a camera.
i'm in the process of figuring it out :)

but remember, also, i am BUSY, and i do not owe anyone pictures.
and i also have trepidation about sharing pix of my daughters online a bit.
someday i will probably not be sharing any, as they get older.

so be patient please.

i guess i need to say this every week.
maybe every single day.
i don't know how many more times i can say it so that it will be read and understood.

MY CAMERA IS BROKEN.

please do not ask me to post pix.
my camera is broken, ok?

when and if i get my camera fixed i will post pix
IF I FEEL LIKE IT.

i only say this over and over because peolpe are acting like i am disapointing them
by not posting pix.
i am flattered that you want to see pix of mine.
but i don't have any to share right now.

thank you.

one of my goals this summer is to try one new vegetable a week.
and also, because i am reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle i am trying to be more of a locavore

the new veggie this week is napa cabbage.

what i did with it was make this recipe for a sort of casserole/stratta (i made this up, here is the recipe)

bottom layer of casserole dish:...
grated parsnips with nutmug (maybe about 6 little ones)
middle layer:
maple sausage (brown it first)
top layer: a savory bread pudding/stratta with the green onions and napa cabbage (3 or 4 cups crumbled bread, 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup butter, 4 eggs, salt, pepper, sauted onions and cabbage..add as much as you want)

bake for 1 hour at 350

it was seriously delicious! sweet and savory :)
and every single ingredient in it was local! (except the spices and flour to make the bread)

• 09:41 violet is 4 months old today. this morning she reached out to touch my face #

• 08:18 if we ate 1 meal a week of locally/ organically raised food, we would reduce our oil consumption by over 1.1 million barrels of oil a week! #
• 08:28 RT @ARTISTstacy: @voog - Yes! Trace 1 package of imported pasta from field to table. Amazing energy consumption! #
• 12:25 i bought a bunch of fresh mint. what can i make from it besides tea? #
