Last night's supper!

Sausage risotto with two kinds of sausage, but it was precooked and I was a bit disappointed... PLUS, the pressure cooker wasn't sealed properly for some reason and would not come up to pressure. Anyway, the risotto burnt on the bottom but was otherwise delicious. I used half arborio, which then ran out, so I used half sushi rice, which

added a perfect sweetness.

Oh, and split pea soup from a mix. Shown here with a leftover Shabbos kneidl. I used the leftover Shabbos chicken soup in the risotto, along with a cup or so of leftover sweet sparkling white wine. It was a sweet taste, but not disturbingly so.

We vaccinated the baby yesterday for the first time.
I went in with the following list of "demands", gleaned from Dr Sears:

~ Only 2 vaccines at a time
~ Only 1 with aluminum at a time
~ Only 1 live vaccine at a time
I don't remember what else.

Anyway, it turned out that there were only "combo" vaccines available - grrr. So he got the standard DPTP and MMR (live). We did take Hib out of the DPTP, as it's a powder that she usually just mixes in. So only seven vaccines, instead of eight.

Now I feel a bit more comfortable about travelling with him, though I realize they don't begin acting immediately. Thinking about the plane makes me nervous anyway... basically a flying soup can full of germs.

Off to Mrs ViKi for the first time in probably a month!!!

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box: I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
