What, you don't quarter the grapes?

I think you'll identify with my column this week:

Sorry, I'm not sure how to make those fancy internal linkees.

I second labgirl's suggestion. We have three dogs, one of which is a beagle (not that I can recommend that breed for a variety of reasons but he is a garbage disposal on four legs). Unfortunately Cooper has figured out he can feed the dogs, so with a look of "and what are YOU going to do about it" he sticks his hand out and drops whatever offending food item he is holding into their waiting maws. Cooper has been slow to transition to "real food". He is 14 months old and if left to his own devices will graduate from high school eating food from a jar. A few reliable staples seem to be strawberries, yogurt, oatmeal, cheese, sometimes other fruit and nutragrain oatmeal bars. He rejects all meat items. Friends assure me he won't starve himself, but I am also not interested in having my kitchen look like I just participated in an Iron Chef competition on a regular basis. Oh well, I will keep trying. Good luck to you too.

How about masticated porckchop with a green bean salsa verde and applesauce mousse (to eat or place in hair, however little one sees fit).

My recommendation? Get a dog. A big dog. We have 2 big furry mutts (one for each kid) and so I never have to waste baby or toddler scraps, or clean food up off the floor. The dogs are all to happy to clean the actual babies as well as the floor, saving me lots of time and energy. :)
