C's cousin Sierra came over to play with her today. C is a big fan. I tricked Sierra into feeding her the avocado/banana mix. It was mean, but she's 9. She'll forgive me. C was okay with it b/c it was mostly bananas. At this rate, the 10lbs of avocados in the fridge will only take a year to get through. Also on the feeding front, I finally tricked the kid into eating peaches. They smell awful. They aren't homemade (peaches
ala Earth's Best organic). They remind me of the smell of
Norwood. The scent from the booze factory near the highway. It was a gross, overly sweet smell I can remember from driving to visit Chris in Hyde Park.
Cincy girls, what was the liquor made there? I can never remember. What's odd is how much I
probably liked the end result. So the peaches smell like a by product of some type of alcoholic beverage, yet C hates them. Not sure if she can go to Taylor with that type of attitude. Anyway, C had a big day with Mommy of exploring paint colors at
Lowe's (for the 10
th time). It's next to Target we may burn down/shop at everyday. We are searching for what will be our 4
th or 5
th shade of yellow for the dining room. Chris has banned me from picking another yellow. So I (**think, b/c it's between the 40+ 2x2 squares taped to the wall) picked golden straw. We just won't tell Chris. Yellow is my curse. I love it, but i can't get the shade right. It's too sunny the current color. Erin was saying after she decides she hates something,
every time she sees it, she hates it more, further sealing it's fate. Same thing with yellow paint. 2 months after I paint, I decide I hate it and MUST repaint. I'm hoping to avoid Chris's "help" anyway (paint sprayer story). I will take pics of C and the final result tomorrow!

Why do you have so many avocados and why would you mix them with bananas? Is that poor kid your garbage disposal? No wonder you had to trick some poor kid into doing your dirty work. That's just wrong on so many levels. And the Distillary you were asking about is Jim Beam. Not a fan. If it was Maker's Mark it would be a different story.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was always a Jack girl. Maker's Mark is gross (too much as a teen). Because according to the parenting God's you are the worst parent ever if you don't make homemade, organic avocado's. They are (and I quote) "nature's only single sustainable food". You could eat only avocados and drink water and all of your nutritional needs would be met. So, with terrible guilt, Clare and I drove to Whole Foods and purchased 10lbs of organic avocados (and a ton of other weird veggies Chris and I don't eat/couldn't identify). I think their gross. Now I have 10lbs in my freezer and the only way she'll eat them is to put some in her bananas without her watching.
ReplyDeleteThe parenting Gods in the 60s said it was OK for our Mothers to smoke, too. Stop reading books and rely on common sense and experience of family members. Besides, avocados are very high in cholesterol. Of course, that probably doesn't mean much to a 5 month old, but I'm just sayin.
ReplyDeleteYeah, about that. I'm pretty sure that children thus far have lived in spite of the wonderful parenting advice of the 60's. I'm sure by the time Clare is a Mom she will have read that Avocado's are in fact poison to small children. But what are you going to do? Everything says it's the "world's most perfect and complete food". How do you top that?
ReplyDeleteI top that by saything that next week, month, year there will be another world's most perfect and compete food that will have been discovered. Make some guac out of them. I love guacamole.
ReplyDeleteWyatt really loves veggies and I can only get him to eat fruit if I mix and hide them. Weird right? It's usually the other way around. Leave it to me.
