Sick baby (with bonus kitchen tip content)

So, Oscar has the flu. But does this baby look sick?

This was an hour after he spiked a 103 degree fever and barfed all over the table (and me) at a restaurant. Tylenol. It's a wonder drug I tell ya. Very effective on baby fevers.

Speaking of obvious tips, here are some kitchen tips that have seemed AMAZING and SO ORIGINAL to me and yet are almost certainly not original at all.

1. when you have a bit of leftover, cooled, stale water in your tea kettle use it to water your houseplants.

2. keep a piece of fresh ginger in your freezer. When the recipe calls for fresh ginger, grate some off the frozen hunk. Don't worry about the skin. It's ok.

3. frost brownies with peanut butter straight from the jar.

That's all I've got.
