If somebody had told me back in the USSR that I would have a little American baby and would feed her avocado puree as her first solid food, I’d be. . . very confused. I had no idea what avocado was, of course.
My aunt told me that her son’s first solid food was borscht. I find that admirable in its sheer Ukrainianness but I’m not ready to go that far.
Speaking of borscht, I am reminded that two of my friends have recently told me that eating borscht dramatically lowers their blood pressure. Have you noticed such an effect?

I’m not surprised! Beets are known for lowering blood pressure.
