I used to have a blogspot blog. It had over three hundred brilliant posts. Then I had a baby. I'm not sure if I'll keep up with this one, but my friend Frank inspired me.

Tonight I'll blog about hosting company with a newborn. Most company hasn't been helpful. Here's a bit of wisdom: do not complain about being tired to a woman with a newborn. Unless, of course, you also have a newborn. I cannot tell you how many people have complained to me that they are tired! Do they not see my black puffy eyes? Honestly, when you're talking to me I'm trying so hard to concentrate on what you're saying because my brain is completely malfunctioning. It's about all I can do not to tell you how big of a moron you're being. You don't complain of hunger pains to a starving man, do you?

In closing I promise to even out my negative posts with positive notes, because I know I can be, as my sister calls me, a "Debbie Downer." Positive thingy: I made this amazing sorbet last night. You must try it. It's a 1/2c of silken tofu, a 1/4c sugar (you can reduce this by half and it still tastes amazing), a pound of frozen fruit (so far strawberry is the fam fav), and I added a dash of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and then just enough cream to make it, well, creamy. It's heaven in my mouth. I got the basic recipe from Mark Bittman's "Food Matters" and tried it so that I could trick Nathan into eating more protein. Although I try not to support the soy industry AND I'm wary of giving my young sons soy. However, you can exchange the tofu for yogurt, but try it with the tofu first. It's amaaaaazing.
