Fill in my usual answer here: __. But I will say that I thought of you when I saw this in the new W-S catalog. Won’t you usually just put what you have fixed for the rest your family in the food mill? As fast as Olivia is growing up, it seems like you would only use it for just a few weeks. I’d add a couple of new microwave dishes to your collection. Sorry. I’m a realist. Katie is an enabler.
Yeah, that is true. I just did big batches of whatever vegetable (or other food) we were introducing and froze them into ice cube trays. Then, we just pulled out and thawed cubes as needed. It worked pretty well, I guess. And, yes, we also had Ava on table food by nine months or so. That was probably just because I was tired of making baby food, though. 😉
You certainly don’t need it, but I can see why you might want it. It’s very cute. Like you said, Rebecca, Olivia will probably move past baby food quickly. Except for being cute and electric, is it actually better than the food mill hand crank?
Actually, the food mill works better, especially at first. It makes a much smoother puree. I used the food processor when Ava could handle a bit more texture.

No, not if you already have a microwave and food processor 🙂

I do. And a nifty food mill. They all worked just fine for Ava’s baby food. Still, though, it’s so cute…

It’s little. It’s cute. It’s green. I think you need it.

I think you totally need that.
You’ll just have to have a few more so you can really get some good use out of it.

That’s what I like to hear! Something makes me think that jarred baby food sounds just fine when the kids outnumber the parents, though.
