Today I feel like I am the only person in the world who found Rebecca Woolf's 'momoir' Rockabye to be well-written but mildly annoying.

I Go Crazy During A Solid Food Update

Since the twins have not had any bad reactions to anything I have fed them, at all (the most minorest of exceptions being gagging, spitting up, and really entertaining facial expressions) -- not even citrus, as evidenced by the tangerine they licked on Saturday and the orange peel they gummed happily on Tuesday [citrus allergies run in my family] -- I have totally gone off any sense of pacing and am now feeding them whatever I feel like.

They are also up to three meals a day. And, by the by, yesterday and today are the clean-out-the-fridge day. So today's lunch consisted of many small tastes of:

- guacamole from my lunch
- sardines
- prunes
- baba ganoush
- tahini sauce

Most meals are more orderly and involve a lot of yogurt, fruit, and either a vegetable or a protein. Sardines weren't really a big hit either time, and tofu is too hard keep around, so I'm mostly sticking to beans for a while.

Speaking of Sardines

I am craving fresh sardines like nobody's business. There must be somewhere in the East Bay I can buy a bunch and cook 'em up, but I've been having a hard time finding them lately.

Success!

Random friendly stranger: "One of those babies has been getting a lot more sun than the other one."

Me: "No, actually, that's just her color."

RFS: "Oh, is that right? Well, they're both adorable."
