he’s here!

bhkgac1

The Gravy Baby, otherwise known as Bennett, arrived yesterday, September 16, 2010 at 6:02 pm Kuala Lumpur time (6:02 am US Eastern time).  He’s 7 pounds, 12 ounces and 21 inches long.  We love that he arrived on One Malaysia Day.  So far, he seems to enjoy eating, sleeping and world peace.

Thanks for everyone’s well wishes!  We’re doing great.  (And my first confinement soup was actually tasty.)

    He’s geooor-jus. Congratulations to you all. What’s amazing is you’re still doing recipes on the way to giving birth. In French they say “elle ne perd pas la nord (grammer?)” You never lose your focus.

    At any rate, get ready for the happiest ride of your life….raising a child. Hope to see you the next time you come to Mt. P.

  • A cheap and cheerful shakshuka for dinner tonight, with chickpeas swirled in a smoky paprika tomato sauce with wilted spinach and feta, topped with a sprinkling of cilantro (coriander). Accompanied, of course, by a lot of hand-wringing, disbelief and wine.

  • In the absence of friends, family and parties to celebrate both, I spent this holiday season baking. Really baking. Cookies. Breads. Chelsea buns. Cupcakes. A buche de Noel. This weekend was the finale of a season of sweets, starting with a pistachio and raspberry roulade and then, using the last remaining bits of cream and egg whites I had laying around, a glorious pavlova slathered with leftover lemon curd cream cheese and topped with a cloudy layer of soft whipped cream, berries and toasted almonds. My neighbors have benefited from my baking largesse; my waistline thanks them for indulging me!
