Hangin' with Katie

A few snaps of my new granddaughter, Katie:

Getting some puppy love from Blue:

Chillin':

Enough pictures already! Time for my eighth 15-minute nap of the day, after which will be my ninth meal-from-Mom of the day. It's a pretty simple schedule actually: nurse, nap, play, fuss; nurse, nap, play, fuss; rinse and repeat all day. In other words, just being a newborn. Hang in there, Mom (and Dad).

Summer Staples

The eggplant I'm growing like what their roots are in, apparently. They are bearing prolifically, this plant having five purple orbs at present:

Here's a cool summer treat I put together: one frozen banana cut in small pieces, one 16-oz. tub of silken soft tofu, one avocado, a quarter-cup-plus-some of carob or cacao powder, and a couple tablespoons of maple syrup. Blend until smooth in a food processor with the S-blade. Sliced strawberries and shaved almonds on top. Makes enough for two of these parfait glasses full (don't ask).
