LOL the windshield wiper arm of doom @georgarina Mine hasn't tried that one yet. But he has learned to shake his head and is doing so with great enthusiasm.

Was at nursery today where he had a creamy chicken thing for lunch and various snacks, more beef stew for dinner so a very meaty day.

@Namechangetime89 how do you make the cashew sauce by the way? Thank you 😊

Namechangetime89 · 29/08/2022 23:03

@DandelionNumber12 its a deliciously ella recipe just blend them up with some oat milk, fried onion and garlic, nutritional yeast, tumeric & miso paste. Honestly takes 20 mins to make the whole meal!
