A recent article in the Salt Lake Tribune points out that most of what we know about weaning babies to adult food is based on either myths or cultural preferences, with no real basis in science. We like the sheep that we are have patiently followed our pediatrician's advice, thinking she was smarter than us. However, now I know can ignore her feeding guidelines and jump into really good things with Noah. So, next up is a New York Strip (rare, of course) with baked sweet potato drowning in butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Then, Papa Johns Pizza, pepperoni, onion, and mushroom (we will make sure that he gets the hot pepper, too). Let's see...then we can follow up with Erin's Ethiopian chicken (made with lots of ginger and curry). The only downside to feeding him like this is the diaper changes...but that's mommy's job more than mine...so bring on the good tasting food man. After all, if it was good enough for every generation of American to do before me, then it must be worth breaking convention and doing things my own way, right?*
On a more serious note, we have noticed that Mihaela does like her food spicy. She does not shy away from pepper and other "hot" flavorings. Mihaela LOVES wings from Applebee's. The spicy, zing is right up her alley. At the same time, she has just picked up an affinity for her daddy's bland, generic corn flakes (as long as they don't get soggy). So, I guess she has a wide gambit of flavors to choose from in enjoying dining.
* The paragraph above employed the use of sarcasm. It its expected that intelligent readers are able to discern fact from fiction and seriousness from humorous exaggeration. In the even that you are unable to differentiate between those, please don't embarrass yourself and publicize that you are a fool by sending me an email or leaving a comment containing any sort of criticism for feeding a five month old adult fool. Thanks.
