I needs me spinach!!!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this baby has turned me into Popeye the Sailor Man. I've always been part sailor, I guess. I mean, sometimes I talk just like one. But now, the package is complete, spinach and all.

Preparing Like My Ancestors Taught Me

At least, that's what I've been wanting to do lately.
Perhaps it's an indigenous nesting gene in my soul!
There remains quite a bit to be figured out for we new-parents-to-be and it's overwhelming at times.    It may be why I badly want to go out to gather food.  At least I know that we'll have enough fish in the pantry and berries in the freezer and I can be at peace knowing that we at least have that taken care of for the near future.  Xwéi...

Concrete Jungle

A trip to New York will take a lot out of you.  It was a huge change in speed, attitude, weather, time... just everything.  I am grateful for the opportunity to go, but at this point I don't think that I'll be going back to tourist NY anytime soon.  I'd much prefer to go, see, and do what all native NYers go, see and do.  That is the NY that I heart.

I'm not sure how baby took the trip.  I think it was hard for her to be away from her normal routine (and her dad's voice).  I think it was hard for her to get acclimated to the change of diet and heat.  I think she'd rather go back when she can actually enjoy it and doesn't have to eat what I have to eat (which wasn't always the best for baby).  And that's a dream of ours now.
