February 2017, "What's Cooking for Dinner?"

bethk wrote:OMG.....he looks SO tiny in it!  But I'll bet it won't be any time at all before he's filling it out and grabbing Cheerios off the tray to stick on his nose, ears & face!  All babies seem to love Cheerios because they dissolve so easily when they get wet.

I still cannot get over the amount of hair he has.  Our first was born with a bunch of dark hair but so much fell out / rubbed off from turning her head on the rough sheets, etc.  Or it could have been from all the 'Nuggies' her dad gave her!

It's kinda early to start feeding him, but we believe that when we sit down to eat at the table, he should be at the table with us. He does get 1 or 2 tsp. of rice cereal with the supper feeding mixed with his milk in a dish.

His hair is so fine, we can't even comb it flat. It's so full of static electricity. I told the girls to rub a dryer sheet on his head. haahahaha.... Boy, did I get dagger eyes from that suggestion.

We had a romantic dinner of grilled chicken wings, sweet potato & Sam's Club Oriental Slaw.



One of my neighbors told me the Oriental Slaw Salad 'kit' from Sam's Club was really good so when I was there I picked up a package....inexpensive at $2.59.  Angel hair cabbage, some thin sliced napa cabbage, shredded carrots, scallions & (YUCK!) CILANTRO.  I picked through and took all the cilantro out before I poured on the Ginger Soy dressing and just before I served it I sprinkled on the sesame sticks & toasted almonds.  It was pretty tasty and, quite honestly, easier than making it from scratch when you're in a hurry.

Mr. Amazing had a Dr. appt. this afternoon in Ocala he wanted me to go to with him.  His GP insisted he get a recommendation about his caraodid (sp?) artery blockage.  The doc said he's got the right side with a 70% - 80% blockage and he really should consider having it cleared.  It's fairly common and not a huge risk, although anything like that carries a stroke risk.  But Dane has to decide if he wants to have the surgery done or sit and wait & see.....I think he's leaning to having it taken care of in April or May.  Worst part for him is NO GOLF for 3 weeks.  He can't decide when he can schedule it so it doesn't mess up his regular golfing days.  Whatever......
