Good eats today!
First, I steamed sticks of carrot, zucchini and chayote in my pressure cooker. I also added some thyme and garlic.
Then I boiled some of the water from the vegetables and cooked some beef in it.. the cut was pezcueso.. the part from the neck.. juicy and soft. I added some lime to it.
Noori loved the sticks of veggies and he slurped down the broth.
Then I gave him a baby horchata drink which is just a mix of water, gerber rice cereal and cinnamon. It would be a lot better if I added breastmilk, but I didnt have any out of the tap at the moment. So half water, half breastmilk, pinch of cinnamon and rice cereal to taste.. oh, and a drop of vanilla if you permit it. You can either have a drink or, if you leave out a lot of the water, you'll have rice pudding!
Today was Wednesday... open street market day!! And people love giving him fruit samples. Today he got pear, apple and mango from the different vendors and I bought some peaches so he had that when we got home.
He eats better than I do-- everytime I give him some fruit I always think that I should eat a slice with him.. but Id rather have chocolate.
