DomestiCity 011

It's been a busy week, so the strip is posting a bit later in the day.

We had the 20 week checkup yesterday, and Cristy is healthy and doing great. The Doctor was real positive but said that Cristy needed to eat more protein during the course of her days. So digging back to my college years, I recalled that peanut butter was a great protein delivering snack but there is one problem. Cristy has a mild peanut allergy, so she's avoiding all peanut products in the hopes that the baby won't have it too. OK, what's the alternative? You guessed right, Soy-nut butter!

It has the same protein count as peanut-butter so I talked Cristy into buying a jar. And of course it tastes just plain awful. The flavor begins bitter with the aftertaste of roasted pinto beans. If this is the alternative, I sure hope our kid doesn't have a peanut allergy. Maybe Nemo will like it. We'll see tomorrow.
