Donna McClurkan
Kalamazoo, Michigan
Early January may seem an inauspicious time to begin an "eat local" project in Southwest Michigan. As if to underscore that point, nearly a foot of snow fell in Kalamazoo on January 3. More about Donna

Extra fiber for baby

The baby has decided to take up a new diet. With the teeth coming in, apparently a decision was made that dinosaur was an appropriate addition to her diet.
Despite what you may think about the toughness of dinosaur meat, the new teeth (six of them!) have caused some serious damage to this poor beast's face.
Most of you likely know that dinosaurs are not intended to have whiskers. This is perhaps baby's first attempt at fashion design? Who knows. While we recoup and deal with the evolution altering monster at our dining room table, rest assured, this dino, is all local.
We found ours at the fabulous ReGifts gift shop.

Our dinosaurs are holding up quite nicely... Well all need some roughage, right?

Sarah, The dinosaur seemed to be the proper training for our new eating machine. Last night she attacked a pork chop with all of the skill and grace of an experienced omnivore.
How's the local Alaskan food? :) -Sareen

We haven't heard back about our CSA application... but the Farmer's Market is around the corner. We may be getting a share of tomatoes this summer; I am looking forward to experimenting with salsa.
btw: A PORKCHOP! We only have a small hint of a tooth -- still small, but a tooth nonetheless.

Baby went from us worrying if the tooth would ever come, to eight magnificent biters pretty much over night. I am scared to reach in to fetch the things she shouldn't be eating. But seriously, she knew just what to do with that darn pork chop.
