On the subject of "how many" - Scrambled Eggs...............................

[FAQtothefuture]

I want to know if the amount I use is crazy or whether it's about normal (because it feels like a hell of a lot to me).

1 adult
3 DS's - 8,5 and 19 months

How many would you do for scrambled eggs on toast?? (or with toast - DS's prefer their toast separate)

But you have to dunk your egg and sausage in your bean juice! Goodness me...

lol FAQ.
Eyeballs that's gross!

Ikea!

LOL what's IKea got to do with anything???

I do my soups in the slow cooker - biggest pot I have - they'll have a bowl similar size to this one of something like Lentil and Carrot soup, and 3 (very thick as I can't cut bread to save myself) slices of homemade bread, and still want bloody desert.

Gawd I love my boys but I do wish they didn't have such big stomachs - wouldn't be so bad if I could say "well I need to cut their portions down as they're overweight/obese" - DS1 needs belts for most of his trousers to hold them up, and DS2 is average weight for his age, and if anything he's slightly underweight for his height.

Actually I think DS2 has hollow legs as he would eat all day if I let him

Very big pans! I have an 8 litre pasta pan and strainer from there. Life saver when cooking pasta bolognese for 6 adults and 1 child. ALso used for boiling potatoes for same number of people.

only 2 have 2nds, DS1 and 2 - I never have 2nds, and DS3 is still a bitty eater so thankfully tiny portions for him still.

FAQ, I dread to think what it's going to be like when they're teenagers.

oh don't - I try not to think of that - think I'll just have to send DS1 out to work at 16

lol. my friends dh when he realised how much his dsd was able to eat in a week a couple of years ago was hysterical. She was 15 at the time and was getting through cereal and milk as snacks like no tomorrow, could eat a large dominos pizza by herself and still be hungry, would make half a loaf's worth of sandwiches an hour before a big pasta tea and eat the lot, still looking for seconds.
She's a size 12.

I think they get it from my brother, who while well built certainly isn't over weight. He has about 4 (or is it 5?) Wheetabix for breakfast, then big lunch, huge dinner (would last me about a week LOL). Utter madness, oh well I should be working by the time they're teenagers (well at least I bloody hope I am) - just have to make sure I get a well paid job
