Turns out baby must be reading my blog posts because she kicked the bageezus out of me last night. Big strong kicks, just below the belly button. It was downright freaky. She’s got some legs on her already. Maybe it’s the lentils we had for dinner.
I’ve been feeling really grateful to have a working kitchen back. Having freshly cooked meals using lots of veggies and fruits makes me feel so much better. I just feel like crap when I eat out all the time. I don’t like it. Well, I do like to eat out, I like it a lot, I just don’t like to make a habit of it. I never make good choices, frankly because they aren’t as easy to find as they are in my own kitchen. Plus I’m a sucker for buffalo wings and things like that. At our house, we try to eat both yummy and healthy food. We had lentils and chard last night. The night before that we had caramelized onion quiche and salad. Yum yum. For a few days there I was just eating canned soup for lunch and I missed my fresh produce. I can’t wait for my CSA shares to start up because I’m spending a bundle right now at New Seasons. I try to buy produce on sale but I always seem to spend too much. I can’t resist, I’m like a kid in a candy store. Easter radishes? Sure! Cara Cara Oranges? Fill me up. Oro Blanco grapefruit? You’ve got my number. There is just too much beauty in all that fresh produce. I must have it all, it must be mine.
That said, we’re off to Ikea to enjoy a meatball dinner, then we’re off to the baby department to find us a crib.
