More Firsts for GTG

Her first rusk! (What a MESS - sorry no picture of what she looked like by the end, but she got in the bath afterwards)


And first graham cracker! She seemed to like both of these (and whole wheat toast, which she also tried) and did pretty well gnawing them to soaked bits before swallowing, although there was also a lot of coughing involved. Don't worry, it was safe. A parent was close by.



Meanwhile we splurged on some good natural, nitrate-free bacon this week (let me know if you want the whole lecture on why to avoid nitrates in meat), and made ranch bacon potato salad, with hard-boiled eggs and fresh pineapple on the side. And a glass of chardonnay. Yummy. Some grape tomatoes would have made this even better, like a BLTE potato salad. Next time...we are VERY eagerly awaiting the spring and summer crops in our area - lettuce! tomatoes! cucumbers! bell peppers! eggplant!

Gemma is such a big girl now. Does she have any teeth to help with chewing the food?
As for your meal, it looks amazing...like something out of a magazine! I think you two should open a bed and breakfast one day. You would most certainly always have guests!
