Food & Pics

The last couple of weeks I've been trying to make an effort to have at least one vegetarian meal a week and 1 meal with beans a week.

This week's vegetarian meal was Green Bean, Zucchini and Potato Stew. I did notice that all the reviews highly recommended the addition of Feta cheese. Needless to say, I wasn't buying any Feta, pasteurized or not, so essentially I chickened out on using the recipe as is and added the following:
Garlic
1 1/2 tsp. Paprika
1/2 tsp. Cumin
1/4 tsp. Cardamom
1/4 tsp. Ground Cloves
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
2 Tbsp. Red WIne Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Whole Mustard Seeds

So essentially what we got was a veggie vindaloo. It was fantastic and we even had leftovers the next night.

I went to Babies R Us yesterday, intending to knock down the "must have" list a bit. It didn't work out so well, but I did end up getting a couple of absorbent crib covers & some pads (for our bed). I looked at lots of stuff, for example, burp cloths. At $10.00 for 4, I'm questioning them. It appears just to be 20" x 15.5" piece of flannel. So my next experiment will be making burp cloths (I can sew the edges of anything, I think). I got better flannel, enough to make 8 cloths for $5.00. If it doesn't work out, not a big deal, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't.

Week 29 Pics & I decided to add (since I'm so big now, it doesn't matter), a new album - The Belly: Week By Week. It goes from Week 11 to present.
