The comment about eggs doesn't make sense either. In Europe, and I assume many other areas of the world, eggs are bought off of shelves in the supermarket- not refrigerators. If they go bad in a few hours outside the fridge, how do chickens ever hatch?

I bought some on Amazon when my Target didn't have them.

Thanks again for the great comments! You have all been very helpful.

Just for the record though- I know she's not a true vegan because of the egg eating. I just stated it like that for simplicity.

I would love to grill something, but unfortunately we won't have access to a grill. We are renting condo-type accommodations and I'm not even sure what kind of cooking implements will be on hand. I was thinking about doing a taco bar for the Super Bowl and incorporating a lot of your suggestions as potential toppings, along with cheese and meat for the non-vegetarians. Then everyone could just choose what they wanted to include. What do you think?

Cooking lemons in their peels this long yields too bitter of results! I tried this and the Huzz was decidedly underwhelmed. Would it be crazy to just juice the lemons instead? Or cut the peels off? I know they would fall apart, but in place of the bitterness maybe it would be worth it?

When we first moved into our new place in Portland, Oregon our next door neighbors welcomed us by bringing over a fresh caught and cleaned salmon, with no expectations that we cook it for them. It was seriously the best salmon I've ever had! But that's Portland... where people are freakishly nice. We're happy if our neighbors give us a wave here in the D.C. area where we now live...

So sweet! Great job! It's lovely and personal, and refreshing that so much was handmade without going crazy!

We used the Puj Tub which was just okay but a little nerve wracking once he started moving a little. We then transitioned to the Tummy Tub which we loved! Our doula recommended it for young babies because they can be immersed safely in warm water up to their shoulders so it's more womb-like and relaxing. He loved it so much! After about 6 months though it was getting too tight so we now use the Eurobath pictured which also lets you fill it more. It's nice, but pretty huge. You don't waste as much water filling it up as a full size tub though, and we only have one shower so we don't have to clean out the whole tub every time we need to bathe him.
