Some Quick Updates

• I’m thinking of starting a review of our cookbooks on this blog. Would you like to know the best vegetarian cookbooks and my favorite recipes from them?
• I finished a book review for the Aphra Behn Online Journal of Women in the Arts, 1640-1830. The book I reviewed was called Separated by Their Sex: Women in Public and Private in the Colonial Atlantic World. It was an interesting, readable explanation of how women, prior to 1690 were able to speak and act on political matters if they were high enough status; after 1700, their status didn’t seem to matter as much as all women were relegated to the private sphere.
• We’ve been working hard, and we’re really looking forward to Thanksgiving festivities!

  

  Jowl shot

• I’ve been playing with the formatting on this blog, and sometimes the pictures come out weird. What I can say about the pictures in this post: They reflect the utter happiness I feel when I don’t have to carry either boy down the stairs.

  

  Leaving the house

• Gilbert still likes his security blanket. He says “teeth.” There’s a surprise!
• I have some observations to make about child development, but those will also be coming in future posts.
