ketchup!

trying to get back into a routine (which will include some big time menu planning)...but here is a little ketchup for now!

first, today's lunch:

• chicken quesadilla
• carrot sticks
• gala apple slices
• raisins
• vanilla hempmilk

last tuesday, ro got sent home from school early because she had some serious eye discharge (it kinda looked like scrambled eggs. ewwww.) and the director thought it might be pinkeye. we went to the doctor on wednesday morning and, of course, no discharge at all. her ears were lovely, turns out it was a sinus infection. great. a week and a bottle of amoxicillin later, we're much better thanks.

on thursday (after her return to school via the doctor's note saying she was not contagious), she swiped a piece of my spicy tuna avocado roll, and walked about saying 'soooosheeeeeeee' very loudly. i can't wait to take her out for sushi - as long as she doesn't attempt wasabi sculpture. that would end quite badly.

and, lastly, a couple of weeks ago i was at mona's and saw these wonky snacks from israel. turns out they're super delicious and rosemary loved them. they are called bamba, and they're peanut butter puffs: imagine the texture of cheetos cheese puffs, but that tastes like peanuts. yum! the kung fu bamba baby on the bag didn't hurt either.

next time i go to mona's i'm going to get a few bags to keep on hand.

we start formal swim lessons today (we were supposed to start last week, but the sinus infection put us on hold) and then a playdate with aline - busy day, but lots of fun in store!

hapy wednesday, y'all.

*goofy bonus trivia: On this date in 1964, the Beatles played City Park Stadium, and Mayor Schiro proclaimed it Beatles Day in New Orleans!
