Go Romy! My dear friend graduated & it was monumental. She’s a stunner. This girl is beautiful everywhere. How applauding her achievements deserve to be! We are so proud of you. I’m honored to attend your graduation & watch you walk across that platform. And how clever of you to wear boots! It is San Francisco after all. The graduate’s celebratory meal at Shanghai Dumpling House in Glen Park was a delight. Aside from the…
Eggsy had a ball with his sweet potatoes this morning. Still preferring the puréed foods, whatever he doesn’t finish, I usually do. We are zero waste around here. Up the nose is usually par for the course. Excellent. And it’s time for a bath. Yesterday baby enjoyed the company of his boys club. Everyone’s getting bigger! Soon to be two, four & six months. (The six monther being mine & in the middle.) The…
Hello, Buttery Jack. You were what I expected. A sheer delight. Your beef patty is succulent & lush. Albeit a bit too cooked for my liking, it’s standing in the fast food burger chain should be up there. The bread is soft & buttery too. It doesn’t overshadow the simple burger formula: patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato & sauce. The sauce looks like a sirarcha type but isn’t spicy. The alternative is their bacon & swiss…
The time has come for Eggsy to try his first fruit. In Nubi’s mesh bag food feeder, baby tasted his first banana. Pretty sure he liked it. He munched through the mesh like a zombie eating for his life. So far he has tolerated or liked everything we’ve introduced to him. Better expand his palate now before he becomes choosier. Mesh bag: good. Cleanup: eh. Lots of little nook & crannies. Worth it considering…
Picking up dinner tonight, the lady at the register said my baby really looked like me. Usually people say Eggsy looks more like dad. Of course I know he is my boy but hearing it from a stranger who clearly has no interest in lying to me, makes me feel great. I am constantly working on my gratitude practice & being a mother gives me a lot of material. Like a good comedian, the day-to-day…
Thanks TB for picture day! Eggsy enjoyed GGP & having his five months captured. Baby worked hard at piano practice at home. This is Grandma’s youngest student! We enjoyed some chicken tikka masala at Noori. We got the naan plain & without butter for baby’s enjoyment. The saag paneer was still too spicy for grandma but mom (that’s me) ate plenty. Doesn’t look appetizing I suppose but this came piping hot and…
Eggsy likes to eat both of these things. Today at Cheesecake Factory, baby aggressively attacked all the bread and likely managed a few nibbles. What is in that bread? Nothing unusual I hope that would cause an allergic reaction. Oh well, what done is done. I had Renee’s Special which is soup, salad & a sandwich. A big bowl of clam chowder which was delicious & quite filling. The chicken salad sandwich was on…
Funny how when you have more time, you just fill it with stuff. Yesterday we went to Moonstar buffet in DC & it was Senior Tuesday! I did not know this going in. It was quite sweet seeing all the Guang Guang & Po Pos getting their grub on. I, unfortunately, had a bit of a sore stomach and my first few plates looked like this: Sad, huh? Yeah, I was eating like a picky…
Big day today for Eggsy. Bam! Babiators. Costs the same as my sunglasses. Sigh. Going to get the kid the wrap around the head thing so he doesn’t lose it. Winning! Finally tried Dragon Beaux on Geary today. The offspring of Koi Palace didn’t disappoint. Okra at dim sum?! What awesome planet do we live in? Lovin’ it. Gai lan only, no more. DB has standard dim sum dishes like the sesame balls…
Happy Mother’s Day! Last night I giddily anticipated my first Mother’s Day. I felt the same way when I was a kid, knowing I was going to an amusement park the next day. Another lovely benefit to parenthood: an additional holiday. To all the hardworking, loving, silly, song-singing, diaper changing, potty training, multitasking, working, stay at home, tired & beautiful moms out there: You freaking rock. I hope all mommies are enjoying this day because…
