2006-06-08: new taste

S. here, everybody, checking in with an update.

I'm happy to announce that, as of June 5th, 2006, the Domestic Goddess has a new taste tester.

His name is Leith, and right now this budding gourmand is off spicy foods. Actually, he's off everything else too, except for maybe breast milk. And also plastic pacifiers.

Leith is healthy, handsome and unflappable. As a bit of a premie, he's spent most of this past week in an incubator, but he's raring to get out.

Leith's mom is feeling a bit under the weather post-partum, and is being hospitalized for the time being. She is weak enough that, right now, her favorite meal is pretty much, ahem, ice chips. Plain. From a plastic cup. Spoon-fed by a nurse or a husband. Please wish her well.

Hopefully, Jennifer will soon be up and back to cooking me and Leith some good square meals, if only because I'm afraid I've gotten so familiar with the Iranian shawerma guy down the street that he's going to invite me to a World Cup party or something.
