"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

News in Family Cuisine

Confession:

I have actually never tried oatmeal.

Maybe I tried it once on a trip with Emily and Laura, but that may have been Cream of Wheat.

Sometimes I think of trying it when I make E and M their new breakfast. They've actually grown to like it.

But then I get frightened and eat cold cereal again. Pathetic.

In other eating news:

GQ has decided nursing is for babies... and that he isn't one anymore.

While I can get him to eat at night and usually once during the day, that's about it.

Since this is when the girls stopped nursing too, I am left to think that my milk must start tasting like - I don't know - oatmeal??? around eight months.

Now when I try to feed him during the day he just grins at me like I must be stupid, and if I keep trying he bites me.

I would be sad about this except that it would be nice to stop losing too much weight and looking like a skeleton. Also, this means that Justin and I can pawn all the children off on some unwary grandparent for more than eight hours.

Well.

That's interesting.

Kinda explains why the Quaker Oats guy is smiling.
