While most of my days are pretty routine, every so often one comes along that makes me feel like I have one of the cooler jobs out there. Today was one of those days - the only problem was that it was a Saturday work day instead of a Monday.In order to measure the dietary intake of babies in our project, we need to know the nutritional value of the foods they are eating. There is no set of "nutrition facts" available for infant foods in Haiti. We have to document detailed recipes on our own so we can then use to calculate the average calories, fat, vitamins and minerals in a Haitian infant's diet. Here are some photos from today's "recipe standardization exercise"- that's just a fancy way of saying that we had moms show us how they cook for their kids.
