I think I’m in love…

That is heaven.  That is my new favorite food.  Curried kale and sweet potatoes….sweet, spicy, warm, earthy.  Of course, with craisins on top!  I do have two other first loves, but this one ranks third right now. :-)  The state farmer’s market is a mere 3 minutes away from our apartment and I am spoiled rotten by the freedom to pop down there nearly every day if I wish.  I came home laden with piles of gorgeous produce the other day and was carried away by artistic visions of arranging its beauty on our kitchen table and snapping lovely photos worthy to post on the blog, provoking wistful sighs from all of you.  But, the kale was soaking wet, the sweet potatoes and beets were filmed with dirt, I was in a hurry to make dinner, (I’m sure the necessity of feeding Eva was mixed somewhere in there) and well, I wanted to eat the above, not just dream about it.  :-)

My second love during her tummy time the other day:

“Oooh, pwitty, pwitty…”

She was fascinated by the quilt’s colors and patterns…

Ok, Mamma, that was a lot of effort….

She loves her little froggy and turtles and contentedly talks and laughs at them for ages.  Just today, instead of wildly batting at the toys hanging off the bouncer, she began gently reaching out and touching them carefully, over and over again.  It’s such fun to watch her grow and develop!

Eva is such a lovey baby and I wonder if she ever tires of my incessant kisses? :-)

I’ve been in major experimental mode lately and will leave you with another successful discovery…

That happy cup is cacao pudding….any guesses as to the secret ingredients?
