A broken computer, carrots, and public access.

Good morning.

So I have to tell you all that although you were all probably missing my blog a whole bunch (giggle), but our computer at home won't turn on. Well, you can turn it on but then it gets stuck on the XP start screen. I was on the phone with Dell for 45 minutes on Saturday, and we didn't get it fixed because I don't know where the disks for the computer are. So that's why I couldn't blog for a few days. We are hoping to get the new disks and get it fixed by the end of this week, fingers crossed.

So last week we made the first batch of baby food. We made carrots. It wasn't hard. You put carrots in just enough water to cover them, add a pat of unsalted butter, and simmer them until soft. Then you process them and put them in ice cube trays to freeze and then you have single servings when you need.

I don't know what made me decide that we wanted to make our own babyfood. Maybe it was cost, maybe just the idea of doing something really good for my son, but I feel like something is weird about it. I mean, I wasn't breastfed, but I breastfeed. I wasn't given homemade babyfood, at least I don't think I was, but I make it. Oh well. I think it was a good decision. I think it will serve him well. Then last night, I made pear baby food, then apple baby food, then apple-pear-cinnamon baby food. They all taste really good. I sample the stuff left in the processor. It's great.

Lastly, I wanted to let everyone who reads this know that I changed the setting so that everyone who wants to post a comment should be able to now. If anyone tries it and it doesn't work, pleasee let me know and I will fiddle with the setting again.
