I was using, this , book while I was prego and then I put in away in the clset but it has a number of power nursing foods for yout blood type as well as an entire section for introducing baby foods. It tells you to use your blood type for your baby and so I am looking at A foods for Max. It is starnge because Max had problems digesting sweet potatoes and he has a horrible allergy to corn, both foods that are not good for him according to the book.

M ax loves his Prunes just like his momma. I warm up some prune juice, mix it in the brown rice cereal and then there we have it. Sometimes I give him some bannanas with it as well. I was just reading in a Chinese Dietary Book and they said that you should always heat up the food because it is easier to digest. Cold foods actually are hard to digest on the stomach and spleen and this is why the Asian culture always eats soups with meals.

I am doing much better. I gardened again yesterday and the feeling of the earth in my hands was amazing. It calmed me and helped me to appreciate all that is around me. I have realized how important community is to me. In Philly I had community at Essene and Whole Foods and bumping into people on the street but I here I feel lost. So instead, I have been hacing friends over for dinner.

Last night my dear friend, Danielle, came over for dinner and I made:

Beet and cauliflower mash (all organic and from local farmers)
Veggie Burgers (bought in NJ at an open market_Pennington Market)
A huge Salad (all local farmers)
Swiss Chard (localk farmers)
And a bean soup for the ladies

Having Danielle, who is full of light and truth, also filled my home with love. She is such a wonderful and special woman and I am very lucky to have her in my life. I have been finding my roots in the kitchen. It is helping me to feel like this is my home.

I have also been struggling wanting to control little things in my life and that has never worked for me. I start doing this when I am usually scared but I am just trying to take it slow and be easy on myself. I used to obsess on money and my weight and now it just my weight. But it is nutty because I actually stop eating meals and just snack which makes me even more nutty..so I am going to commit to eating correct portion size meals. I know that I need to have some balance and I know that I need some sense of control… so after talking to some people, I think this is what will work for me.

As for Max, I have been so bad at taking pictures and so today I will take a few and post.
