:: a few of my favorite things ::

pasquale is closing in on one year in the world.

he loves life, mama's milk, horsing around with daddy, hikes in the forest, toys with wheels, blocks and laughing.

he has a very sophisticated palate, usually open to eating anything and everything.
a few of his favorites include:
.green lentils.
.sauteed collards, onions and carrots with ginger.
.raisin, molasses bran muffins.
.bananas.apples.pears.mango.coconut.papaya.
.curry (LOVES it).
.roasted red pepper hummus.
.olives and capers.
.smoked salmon (LOVES it).
.goat gouda cheese.
.strawberry soy yogurt.
.blueberries.
.almond butter on seaweed rice cakes.
.chocolate (daddy's fault).
.beer - just a taste off the fingers or a lick off the lip (daddys' fault).
