I have a complicated relationship with my son’s food. It started with not being able to breastfeed. It was upsetting, but amazing site like Fearless Formula Feeder helped me come to grips with it. My kid was fed, that’s the important part. Then Tater had infant acid reflux, which led to MANY different formulas being
Eatin’ Pants: Carol’s Creamed Chicken and Biscuits
When I was about nine, my neighbors got stationed in Japan and rented out their house, as military families often do. I was devastated, as their little boy and girl were like my siblings and taught me how to scream, “MOM!! They are touching my stuff,” with all the righteous indignation of an older sister.

Cookin’ with Carol: Guyanese Pepperpot
As I may have mentioned, my dad is from Guyana and my mom is a white lady from New York. This makes me not only makes me mixed, but also a first generation American on my dad’s side. It also makes me always in possession of something to say when you have to go around

Eatin’ Pants: Baked French Toast
Sarah came into town this weekend and it was fabulous! Hours of talking, shopping, REAL margarita-making, fried chicken eating and silly TV watching. Not only did we view the Tony’s and talk theatre, I also introduced her to Toddlers and Tiaras. And this horror. And, proof that she’s a nice person, Maggie ADORED her. The
