Smug alert! What's for dinner? Smug alert!

[Spidermama]

My seven year old boy is just dishing up dinner for six.

It is pasta with puy lentil and tomato sauce, with a bit of wine. He has insisted on making it entirely on his own (apart from draining the pasta) and it smells great.

I forsee easy times ahead. I've been training them to cook for years off and on and it's finally begining to pay off.

What are your dinner arrangements?

Holy moly.

I'm not going to tell you mine, you'd laugh.

wow that is impressive!

spag bol here

that sounds great!
am very jealous- how do you sdo the sauce.
We are having filled tortellini and carrots- ds's request

Good for you Spidermama! DD cooks for us sometimes and it gives you a bit of a 'my job here is done' moment doesn't it! Bon Apetit!

Well done your boy!

Hmm, well I made all my boys (dh included) a delicious meal of fish fingers, oven chips and beans!! Ha ha!

I'm having spag bol from last night once I've got the younger two in bed. Ds1 and dh going to a football match.

Now you see that's one you could get them doing young Gobble.

Rowan go on. I could do with a laugh.

Did everyone in the world have spag bol last night, I spoke to five random people who did. Must be a wednesday night dish

i have had the most disgusting dinner ever - meat-free kievs. i thought they would taste good, but i actually feel quite ill

Bleurgh. Is your DS available for catering?

I am very impressed, Spidermama!

I'm rather pleased with myself tongiht. Here at the Candelabrum I have served up a three course meal to the children for the first time in yonks. Home-made chicken soup with noodles, followed by chicken, veg (see a pattern here?) and dumplings. I slgithly fell down on teh pudding: fruit pots and chocolate teacakes.
