Stuffed Shells: A Win For Everyone

 In our house, there are two adults, one toddler, and one baby. 

Sometimes it's hard to find a dish that everyone can agree on.  But we are all of one mind when it comes to stuffed shells: YUMMY.  YUMMY.   YUMMY.

Foodgoat's stuffed shells is very similar to his lasagna, but better, because each serving is already nice portioned out (no cutting needed), and the delicious ricotta cheese insides stay inside. 

Our Baby Food Maker

There are a lot of tools out there for making your own baby food.  

 

For example, there's the Beaba Babycook Baby Food Maker ($120) that I have been seeing everywhere.   

We, however, have gone a little more ... low tech.

 

The Goatling, she never liked the purees.  She wants what we're eating.  So we have just been scooping up our food into her bowl and roughly chopping it up into tiny pieces with a pair of kitchen scissors.  Fast and easy and ready to go.  

The Way to a Man's Heart

How cute was Amy Farrah Fowler, winning over her man with strawberry Quik and spaghetti with little pieces of hot dog in it?

And so effective ...

I don't think this meal would have quite the same impact on Foodgoat.

For Just $800 You Can Pretend To Be A Down-to-Earth Farmer Too!

Ah, Williams-Sonoma, you always know just what the people the disposable income, bourgeois bohemian, consumers needs wants.  

There were people out there who read about keeping chicken coops at home in the New Yorker, but didn't know where to find them, or didn't care enough to really look form them, and then suddenly, there it is, at Williams-Sonoma.  Their new Agrarian line features rustically stylish chicken coops ($400-$880), backyard beehives ($340-$500) and canning supplies like the lovely Weck jars ($25/6).

On one hand, it all looks so pretty.  On the hand, I feel like buying a chicken coop at Williams-Sonoma is about as far from authentic as you can get.

Note to Self

Okay, Ladygoat, I know you're not feeling these days, and you tend to fall asleep around 9, and you forget key things like the fact that baby now needs to wear shoes, but do not forget to watch, or at least set your DVR for Sunday, 9 pm EST, PBS.

Sherlock will catch him!  Keep up, Bilbo!

Season 2 of Sherlock starts up!

A girl really needs a TV show to look forward to.  These days, this is the show.
