Between a lot of sickness around the house, the holidays, and sheer inertia, I’ve been absent from blogging for the past couple of weeks. I’ve got a recipe to share tomorrow as part of the Real Food Wednesday blog carnival, so gird your loins and get ready.
Oh, and I’ve added a Tumblr feed right there on the left with news stories and posts of interest from elsewhere…check it out to see what’s catching my eye around the web. I’m wondering whether to keep it or just tweet interesting articles. Feedback appreciated.
- Santa brought ear infections for everyone!
The week of Christmas brought a killer double ear infection for hubby that didn’t respond to the usual antibiotics and landed us in the ER late Christmas Eve and had him on Vicodin Christmas Day. C also got a double ear infection that was thankfully diagnosed and treated more quickly. I’m pretty stoked that he’d made it 16 months without an ear infection. I like to think breastfeeding had something to do with it.
- Geeking out over grain
My sister-in-law brought her grain mill for me to try out during the holidays. I made sprouted soft wheat flour, regular hard wheat flour, and learned the difference between the two. I also learned from her to make the Best Bread Ever with my stand mixer, and I tried out the Nourishing Gourmet’s Scottish shortbread cookies. Oh my goodness. Go make some now and thank me later.
- C is finally ambulatory
The kiddo took his first steps yesterday morning in the church nursery. Daddy and I were not present for the blessed event, but we coaxed a repeat performance out of him later that night. Thank God. 16 months old, remember? Now if he’d just start talking…
- Real Food FAIL
I made homemade pizza tonight, and I had recently gotten the clever idea to use bread crumbs instead of cornmeal to keep the crust from sticking to the pizza peel. This time I actually turned over the can and looked at the ingredients. Ew. They went in the trash, and I’ll be making my own bread crumbs from now on.
Yeah, that is definitely too many ingredients for bread crumbs. Homemade pizza sounds great, though!
