"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Still, even the most ardent practitioners observe some limits. “I don’t think you can walk down Fifth Avenue and just let your baby poop on the sidewalk,” she said.

Good to know.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

ugh. That article. I backread some of the motherlode blog today. And there is nothing more precious or rarefied as parenting in NY as covered by the NYT.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Still, even the most ardent practitioners observe some limits. “I don’t think you can walk down Fifth Avenue and just let your baby poop on the sidewalk,” she said.

And that right there is the difference between the US and the diaperless societies they're venerating.

I'm done.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

msbelle, congratulations! This is wonderful news.

When I was in Peru a guide told us that Brazil nuts got marketed that way instead of "Peru Nuts" because someone deemed it "sexier". Pretty easy to buy that.

They showed us husks on the ground and told us how they're harvested -- they're wild grown and generally not in groves. Dudes hike into the jungle (as they did with their fathers and their fathers before them) to their known trees, whack open the coconut-like outer shell which is filled with about two dozen of the nuts, and dump said nuts into gigantic sack. When the sacks are full, they go home. It's like a vegetarian hunting party.

Those were the most delicious freakin' Brazil nuts I ever had in my life, btw. I'm convinced freshness is a factor and the ones we get 'round here are old as dirt.
