As part of a new, all singing all dancing 'the children will eat what we eat' endeavour, I present:

Monday: Falafels and pitta (falafels spurned by children)
Tues: Brussel sprout gratin (actually really delicious, but spurned by children)
Weds: they're having beans on toast, I'm having braised fennel with a girlfriend. No point even trying to get them to eat that.
Thurs: Meatballs and Mediterranean veg (well, a pepper and a courgette) with tomato sauce and pasta. The children will pick the veg out.
Fri: I have my phd viva on Friday, so am planning to have wine for supper. DH will presumably procure me a takeaway at some point, and the kids are out for pizza with a friend.
Saturday: Cauli cheese. And more wine.
Sunday: Pub lunch, so presumably a light supper. And wine.
