Our List

Well, we have been reviewing our to do list. Finally my oldest son's renewed passport came in. That takes a load off for me. My next concern is what my oldest son will eat. My youngest son loves Ethiopian food. I love it as well. If you have never had it, the closest cultural food would be Indian food. Yet they are pretty different. You have to try it. There are a few in the city. Awash Restaurant has two locations and Ghenet Restaurant is very good but they moved out of Manhattan. There is also Queen of Sheba Restaurant in downtown Manhattan. (Be prepared that when you go, you will use delicious Injera bread to eat your meal).

So my oldest son, let's say can eat Ethiopian food for a day or two but not for three weeks. I will have to have something for him to eat. This is where my list comes in. I have the staple peanut butter and jelly. He hates caned food like Chef Boyardee. So I have pasta and can sauce. Oatmeal and cereal; their absolute favorite. They will eat any type of cereal all day if I gave it to them. I am also bringing crackers, box juices, carnation milk and what my husband and I can't seem to see eye to eye on; packets of noodle soup. (Between you and me I am packing the soup). I can't think right now what other non-perishable items I could pack. I decided to have them get the H1N1 shot. I decide when my co-worker said his niece came back from a trip to Europe last month and came home with the H1N1 virus. My husband and I need to get the vaccination as well. My oldest received the nasal spray as it does not have the Mercury preservative found in vaccinations. My youngest has an appointment with his doctor tomorrow but they only have the vaccination. I'll send more updates later.
