How to prepare baby food:
(Great tips from Baby Center)
First, wash your hands, the produce, and all the bowls and utensils. Peel and pit the fruit if necessary.
All vegetables — and fruits like apples and prunes that need to be softened — should be cooked before pureeing or grinding. To preserve vitamins and minerals, bake, boil, or steam the produce until soft. If you boil the food, use as little liquid as possible and add some of the leftover liquid when mashing the food (or add it to your family's soup stock).
To prepare fruits or vegetables, simply add a little liquid (breast milk, formula, or cooking water) to the produce as you puree or grind until the consistency is soupy. As your baby adapts to solid foods, you can add less liquid. If the fruit has seeds, strain before serving.
Grains like rice or millet can also be pureed or ground in a food mill. Cook them first according to package directions.
To prepare meat and poultry, remove the skin and trim the fat before cooking. Then puree the cooked meat in a blender or grind it up in a food mill with a little liquid. For older babies, you can simply chop the meat into very small pieces.
How to store your baby food:
Fill up ice cube trays with the pureed food, freeze them solid, then store in ziplock bags, and label. Keep baby food in freezer for no longer than 3 months for fruit, vegetable and meat puree. Do not refreeze baby food that has already been frozen. There are also a number of products for baby food storage such as: BabySteps freezer tray, Baby Cubes, or Fresh Baby food trays. Although using such products can help out, using regular ice cube trays will also work just fine & save you $.
(Below is an article I found about the USS Makin Island.)
The USS Makin Island, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, was commissioned last Saturday morning at North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego.
Dubbed the 'Prius of Navy warships,' the Makin Island is built with gas turbine engines and electric drive. The Navy projects that this will save nearly $250 million in fuel costs over the ship's lifetime.
The ship, which was built by Northrop Grumman at a cost of about $1.8 billion, was delivered to the base in April. It will be a member of the U.S. Pacific Fleet as part of Amphibious Group Three. It's 844 feet long, weighs 42,800 tons, and was designed to transport Marines and their equipment.
It can hold 1,100 to 1,200 sailors and about 2,000 Marines. It can also carry up to 25 aircraft, including six CH-53 Sea Stallion heavy-lift transport helicopters, AH-1 attack helicopters and AV-8B Harrier II ground attack aircraft.
