Experimental cooking can be a source of deep joy--or agony--depending on how it turns out. The perfect meal shared with a good companion puts me in a deliciously good mood. But unhealthy, un-tasty, untimely meals put me in a frump. This is my quest for good foods and good moods.

In case you're wondering
I'm still working at the New Era as features editor. I'm 33 weeks pregnant. I've gained 20 pounds so far and anticipate a few more. My feet are swollen. I'm due August 11, which happens to be my 7th wedding anniversary.
I feel pretty good, but I wake up pretty cricky in the morning! Once I get going, I can waddle up and down my street for miles, especially if I've got someone to talk to on the cell phone or in person. But I don't exercise as much as I should.
I've no weird cravings. Chocolate certainly isn't a weird craving. But I do often get a hankering for various ethnic foods. But that was always the case with me!
I'm leaning heavily toward natural birth, but I know the hospitals kind of coerce a lot of moms-to-be to have drugs... which leads to a whole host of other medical interventions. Pray for me and this little one!

Hi, Emily,
You look so pretty in the picture.:)
Do you have enough maternity clthes for work? If you need some, let me know.

Good for you on your plans to have a natural birth! I stumbled into your blog when I googled for images of Hematite Lake. Then I was captivated by your foodie posts. People who appreciate good food are few and far between in this part of the country! But as a mom, I had to comment on your pregnant picture (beautiful!) and your birth plans. Way to go!
