stealing cookies from the mouths of babes

This morning I had plain yogurt with strawberries and blueberries.  The fruit had been a cutting board last used for garlic.  If you’ve ever been tempted to add garlic to yogurt and fruit, I would suggest you reconsider.  I also had some coffee.

Iris and I traveled to Safeway this morning and we received the usual comments about how cute she is.  Hard to fault people for this, really.  Wearing a child on your back elicits a surprising number of comments from strangers.  Most comments are welcome, but few so welcome as the one we received this morning.  ”Awww.  Can she have a cookie?”  ”Um….sure.”  ”Just go over to that case over there.  The big cookies in the middle are free for kids.”  

Now, seriously.  You think I’m going to give a huge chocolate chunk cookie to my baby?  As I like to say in our home, “cookies are for mamas.”  And what a surprisingly delicious cookie this was!

Joyce and Topher were over for lunch and I made a fritatta, a salad, and bread.  I didn’t make the bread, but I cut it up and baked it too long.  We also had some watermelon.  Joyce brought some delicious-smelling banana bread that I haven’t tried yet.  Chocolate chips, no nuts, just as I like it best.
