My whole existence as of late has been dedicated to "the babies" (baby1 & baby2). Diapers, diapers, diapers ... YUCK! What to feed baby1? What will baby1 eat? Is this healthy for baby1? What to feed baby2? ...well that's easy, milk, milk and more milk... Although baby2 wants the drinky drink oh so frequently.
I used to have more time for all things selfish. Basically, ME time. A few moments of my most favourite thing in the world, food is now reduced to only moments of guilty pleasure. No longer can I produce meals that require a lot of prep time. What about dining out? "Are you kidding me!?!?!" Being fed by professionals are a rarity. Devising plans on how to best handle the babies while out in a restaurant have become our new sport. The key factor in the success of a restaurant visit is, is there enough space in the restaurant for the babies? A high chair for one and the stroller for the other.
The new reality:
- fast easy to prep home meals, also edible by baby1 (less than 2 yrs old)
- love delivery
- fine dining? used to be a treat, now? non-existent
- success to resto dining: 1 high chair, enough space to fit a stroller to not be a big nuisance
- the myriad of ethnic variety here in the city that we used to enjoy? most are in small spaces, so...it's a no go.
- all the great cheap eats in the city? see the immediate above
- chain restos? have high chairs, roomy BUT we rarely dine in them
Here is my food life...
