So as we've thought more and more about our adoption,there are some food changes going to have to be made 'round here.
First of all, we know from experience that having a baby in the house means that elegant dinners are out. (Not that we ever have any!:) It is really hard to make supper when you're also trying to bond with a child. Since Bob and I are older we are able to help a lot, but still some days are just crazy busy!! So we will probably put together some frozen meals that will just need to be popped in the oven or in a pot. We just got another freezer, so that will be really useful.
But then! What about Belly Boy,he is used to Ethiopian food not American. The Care Center does a really good job in that they try to give the children "American" food that will make it easier for them to adjust when they go home. (Mom and I were laughing at the "American" food ingredients. Some of the food was totally NOT made the American way)!
But back to what I was saying before, Belly Boy is used to a certain kind of food. So obviously we are going to have to change our menu items a little or actually a lot. Add some of the food and ingredients he's used to!
So, in the many months we have in front of us as we wait for Belly Boy, one of our projects is going to be getting used to Ethiopian food! :)

Teff is a main Ethiopian staple. It makes for a yummy hot cereal - try adding a little maple syrup, raisins, cinnamon and cardamon and it's even better! Of course, this is the Americanized version of Teff. :) Praying for Belly Boy!
Hmm, we might try this. We're also thinking of going to a local Ethiopian restaurant!Thank you for your prayers!
