The scientist in the crib
Melina's scientific career began this month as she [was] volunteered to test Nice Cubes, a new kind of frozen organic baby food being studied at the OSU Food Innovation Center. The cubes (which aren't actually cube-shaped at this stage of testing) are microwaved for 30 seconds and then fed to baby just like regular jarred food. Melina has to try them alongside regular jarred organic baby food. So far, we have only tried one flavor (sweet potatoes). I vastly preferred the Nice Cubes to the jarred variety, but Melina seemed indifferent. Perhaps she was having an off day; we will try again several times before making a final verdict. Melina is now the third generation in our family to test foods for OSU. My dad tested sports drinks, I tested french fries and ice cream (oh, what a heavy burden that was) - and now Melina is carrying on the proud tradition.
