Today’s prompt: Lunch
What’s eating out with a baby in tow? It’s not always fun, convenient and mostly, done in a hurry. We went out for baby’s vaccination and got hungry, decided to go to our favorite Japanese restaurant.
The baby started getting fussy so I ordered these rolls for lunch. It came in fast and I can eat it fast! It’s a maki rolled in reverse (nori seaweed inside instead of outside), with avocado, crabstick and cucumber. Nothing raw for me!

Today’s prompt: Something you made
I’ve always wanted to make bread – something I can make for my family. Wouldn’t it be great to make it on your own? To know the actual ingredients that’s in it? Luckily, I found a fail-safe recipe for Pain de Campagne (French country bread) that’s a total keeper. The recipe is flexible too – you can substitute white bread flour with whole grain and you can add almost anything to the mixture – olives, herbs, dried fruits or nuts.
If you haven’t made your own bread, why not? It’s inexpensive, healthy and tasty. Give baking your own bread a try. I bet you’ll find that a freshbaked, totally natural loaf of bread will convert your entire family and you can say goodbye to the long list of unpronounceable ingredients that are found in store bought breads!

Last night, the baby slept for FOUR hours straight. Four. That is not a typo!
It’s funny how I longed for a longer, better sleep during the first few days of having Benjamin at home that two hours was luxury and now that he’s actually sleeping longer, that I should celebrate and enjoy and catch up on my sleep, here I am wide awake and writing a blog.
Before, he would breastfeeding round the clock, like every 1-2 hours and if he isn’t it would be diaper time or burp time or generally some reason for me to wake up and tend to him.
Now he sleeps for more than four hours tucked in his bed sleeping soundly like an angel and here I am awake and worrying. Why is he sleeping this long? Is this normal for a three month old? Isn’t he hungry? Will I wake him up to feed him?
Will it be like this from now on (if yes, then woo hoo!)? Am I taunting fate by asking these questions?
