Diaper Bag


Diaper Bag, originally uploaded by themasterkey3000.

The new diaper bag I got in the mail today turned out to be a messenger bag. I wouldn't have chosen it if I'd known that. The website picture is so misleading. I guess I like it anyway, though.
The other option was the awesomest giraffe-print bag ever, but it cost $200, which just doesn't seem worth it for something you're likely to get poop on.

Beer Halls

Magnolia Gastropub and Brewery
"These days the menu is aa worthy match for the beautifully crafted brews the McLean and head brewer Ben Spencer make in the basement, from the sharp and tangy Kalifornia Kolsch to the silky Cole Porter."

The Publican
"The beer list is equally outsize, featuring every Belgian style known to man..."
837 W. Fulton Market Chicago

Highland Kitchen
"A low-key spot for American craft brews."
150 Highland Ave. Boston

Whole Wheat Rolls with Caraway

I made these Thursday, as part of my, "Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't cook like always," kick, which lasted for all of Thursday. They were good, though. I forget how much I like caraway seeds. I think I'll let them rise a little longer than recommended next time.

Ideal rising temperature is 75 and our house is generally at 73 because I'm spoiled and grew up in Florida, which you might think makes you more used to heat, but really it makes you more likely to abuse your air conditioner.
