for my niece, G
who has only four and a half weeks left until her baby boy is born.
thank you google.
dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
So that was the problem. I had girls, who wanted hot fudge sundaes.
ReplyDeleteThat explains so much.
ReplyDeleteMerle........
I wanted jelly rolls so VERY badly.
ReplyDeleteI was so fortunate as I don't remember ever getting cravings except to do lots of sewing and knitting for my first one. It was a girl so perhaps that explains it.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to your niece for the birth of her son.
Joanne Noragon; one of my girls wanted tomato sandwiches, on fresh white bread with real butter and pepper. But only for a couple of days.
ReplyDeleteMerlesworld; yes it does.
Delores; apart from the few days of tomato sandwiches, I had no real cravings. And never any middle of the night yearning for odd foods.
Mimsie; I remember losing my taste for chocolate with the first baby, so it's no surprise to me that she doesn't eat much of it. Maybe a nibble at Easter, that's it. I asked G recently "are you ready?" she said "I hope so..."
HA! That's adorable. The only pregnancy that gave me cravings was my first. I fixed sauerbraten like four times in the space of two weeks. I simply could NOT get enough of it!
ReplyDeleteSusan; I've heard it said that cravings happen when there is something specific that the developing baby needs and if you don't eat that something, the child will be unsettled when he or she is born until eventually they eat that item for themselves.
