| Not so sure. |
This week, Shosei started a new menu of baby food. I made potato potage and mashed carrots. The carrots are from a frozen product, picked in New Zealand and the potatoes are from Hokkaido, Japan. These days, we have to know where the produce is from, to avoid the potential hazards of produce near and around Fukushima. Sometimes, there just seems no way to avoid it all together. I find myself looking at the green vegetables and root vegetables, wondering whether to believe the written names of places where these produces were grown. It must be even harder for those people living in Fukushima.
Shosei seems to not like the carrot mush so much. When I tasted it, it tasted too much like plastic, as if it had been stored in the bag it came in for far too long. Frozen food just doesn't taste right. I long to feed Shosei real, fresh vegetables from my parents' all around organic garden. I flavored the potato potage with a little bit of Katsuo dashi stock. Shosei also had a taste of unflavored rice crackers for babies 7 months and older. He played around with it and then eventually, he rammed it into his mouth and let a few pieces melt in his mouth. It easily melts in the mouth. It's edible for babies with no teeth.
