When Lexi and Charlee were here, followed closely by Neekha, Patrick
and young Azlind Oliver, we had some northern treats such as Maktaq
and Piffi (dryfish) but also some more standard kid things like
Kool-Aid, marshmallow Fluff and Nutella.

I hadn't had orange Kool-Aid for approximately 60 years but I tried
it; it wasn't nearly as awful as I thought it would be. Definitely
artificial and totally orange free but still tasty in its own way on
a hot day, especially if made with less sugar and more water than
the package calls for.

But what does an old guy do with leftover Fluff and Nutella?

Azlind is now five months old are getting tiny single spoonfuls of
easily digestible pureed foods. While he was here he got his first
taste of banana, watermelon and carrot. He absolutely loves food and
screams angrily when we don't give him larger helpings but Neekha
wisely wants to make sure he can handle new foods a little bit at a
time. I reminded her that she chewed on a cayenne when she was eight
months old and drank Frank's hot sauce out of the bottle at nine
months old and now I am not allowed alone with Azlind without
supervision!

I would use toasted dry breadcrumbs and omit the oatmeal, perhaps
substituting bulgur or leftover cooked white or wild rice for it
instead. -JW
