Mysteries

After weeks of behaving as though breast milk is the infant analogue for cashew chicken, suddenly, today, Hotspur is only contented when at the breast.

Did our date with other babies convince her that this is what the cool kids do? Is this an unsuspected effect of her two-month shots? Has her little brain been warped by our excursion to Whole Foods such that she's gone food snob on me? Did I hold her too close to that copy of Saveur? Has she secretly been reading Mothering?!?

I vote for the Mothering option. Fun magazine when it confirms my biases, irritating when it doesn't. :)

In any case, congratulations on having a happily nursing baby! Hopefully, she'll find a little balance soon.

She's just carrying the locavore movement to its logical conclusion... :-)

If you can't be with the food you love, love the food you're with?

Hopefully the next step is integrating her two loves into one convenient system of eating?

I wish B had learned about how night and day work from the cool babies.

I'm not sure I understand: What concept is "cashew chicken" a stand-in for, here?

[ricevermicelli.livejournal.com]

It's not a stand-in. Mary's cashew chicken - way tastier after it spends a night in the fridge.

Ah! Thank you. Now I understand much better.
