CBB at 6 months: Preparing baby’s first solid food
You know what, it’s true when they tell you “The days are long but the years are short.” I feel like crying when I’m typing this because whaddya know, cbb is going to be SIX MONTHS OLD! Oh and to set the record straight, cbb is not her real name. You can call her Amber :) I was going to share her first-solids experience along with some information on weaning that I gathered from my research, but the post would be toooo long then. Look out for another post, detailing common first foods, allergy concerns, how much to give, etc etc coming right up.
Pork Chop Onigirazu (Japanese Rice Sandwiches)
Onigirazu (Japanese Rice Sandwiches) is derived from Onigiri (Japanese rice balls). According to Eating With Your Hands, Onigirazu means “no shaping”. When making Onigiri, the rice needs to be shaped into a triangle, but no squeezing/shaping is needed when making Onigirazu. This explains the “razu”, which means “none”, or “without”. For the longest time, the husband has been hoping that I would make Onigirazu. And why not, I thought, since these fit right into my “Approved” list of fuss-free food to cook. These Japanese rice sandwiches can be filled with allll sorts of ingredients!
