That, of course, is the first rule of nutrition. And there are no other rules. I just read this fabulous post over at Spilt Milk: Let us eat cake, and in the comments, in my own rambling, I had something of a revelation, immediately followed by a reality check: I said that the Boychick never “doesn’t like” [...] 23 February 2010 at 3:39 am | Category: Body, Fat is a feminist issue, Kyriarchy, Parenting, Privilege | Tags: food, Health At Every Size | 17 comments
Like this? Share it: Around here, we do — or aim for — intuitive eating for the whole family. We started with breastfeeding on cue; we did self-feeding (also called baby-led weaning, with the British definition for “wean”: to introduce anything other than milk) with the Boychick since he first had solids at 7mo, eating the same food we [...] 10 November 2009 at 3:38 pm | Category: Fat is a feminist issue, Parenting | Tags: food | 7 comments
Like this? Share it: 1 sick child + last of birthday carrot cake + 3/4 very large orange + 1 lemon fish pill = first ever non-spitup vomiting. Lesson learned. Please chime in with your life lessons (especially as pertains to toddlers and/or food and/or illness) so others (eg me) may gain from your experience! Or so we [...] 17 March 2009 at 11:42 am | Category: Health, Parenting | Tags: food, sick | 5 comments
Like this? Share it: Just for posterity, I thought I’d post the recipe for the Boychick’s birthday carrot cake.

Like this? Share it: I feel like I’ve passed some kind of threshold. There should be prizes, or possibly medication. Today, we made sourdough cinnamon rolls. 100% organic, 100% from scratch. Although, to be fair, we didn’t grind the flour ourselves. Or the cinnamon. Oh, the corners we cut around here! I’m not saying they’re pretty, [...] 7 February 2009 at 1:20 pm | Category: Body | Tags: domesticity, food | 2 comments
Like this? Share it: In an effort to get our eating out and Starbucks bills under control, The Man and I are participating on a no spend challenge this month. I’ve also been experimenting with traditional foods, especially soaking grains. We even created a meal plan for the week, and I have no knead bread rising as I type.

Like this? Share it: This is a post from MDC I thought worth saving. It was in a thread discussing an article titled “Even a little caffeine could harm fetus”, based on the finding (based on the always-accurate self-reporting) that “as little as” 100mg caffeine — a cup of coffee a day — was correlated with an average [...] 27 December 2008 at 5:24 pm | Category: Body, Gender, Health, Patriarchy | Tags: food, pregnancy | 4 comments

In my bathroom hangs a plaque with a picture of a yin yang and the word BALANCE. I can never get it to hang straight. This probably says something deep and meaningful about my life.
