Cooking with Kids: Baby Food Blender

I agree that it satisfies a need in me to have cute, well-designed things, but I mean REALLY NOW! It seems like the longest you would use this for is four months, and it really doesn't take that much more effort to just mash or puree food any other way. I have a ten-month old and, lemme tell you, he's already turning up his (tiny and cute) nose at pureed food.

This is sort of heartbreaking. I love the ritual of stirring my coffee or tea. And how sad would it be if TS Elliot's line "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons" became obsolete?

Ah, yes. Perfect for the parent who cares enough to make their own baby food, but isn't quite smart enough to realize that they would be steaming the food in PLASTIC. Gotta love that one.

Trouble is, it's $139.99 and a bit expensive for maybe 3 months of use. Bigger issue - the Container is made of Polycarbonate!

Yep, that's BPA to you and me. BPA is a big problem especially when plastics are heated. Why would anyone want to use this to cook food for their baby?

Even if you don't need a spoon to stir anymore, the teaspoon is still just perfect for measuring loose tea.

I love the idea from the website of "creating a new gestural appeal".

Sometimes I try to create new gestural appeals, too.

Usually nobody has a clue as to what I am doing except maybe they think I'm going spastic.

Spoons are so... 20th century.
