Hello all.
MM - I am most impressed by your young admirer! I am sure it was a bit
at the time, but v flattering! Lov the idea of your suits going to a good cause after the link from Choo.
Apuski - Sorry to hear the weight gain is still a worry. It's such a primal thing isn't it, the whole feeding issue. I can quite understand the concerns - although a happy baby sounds lovely!
Tracey - I know exactly what you mean about the discussion re your DH with your Mum/Dsis. My mum occasionally tries to lead me that way ref my DH (who in general she loves), and I do try and steer clear of 'unloading' if I am particularly annoyed, as it is dangerous to build up a one-sided picture. As you say, they rarely see the really good things that bind people together. They are often private.
Marsha - Like the sound of slow roasted pork. In the spirit of Cake's cake, here is the easy veggie dinner we had tonight, that can be thrown together in 15/20 mins and is lush
Roasted Mushrooms:
2 v large mushrooms per person
Thick slice of soda bread per person (or wheat free equiv...or english muffin works well)
small handful of pine nuts
dried tarragon
2 cloves of garlic
plenty of mild soft goats cheese
olive or rape seed oil
Balsamic vin
Put mushrooms in oven on gas mark 6 for 7 mins. (Drizzle oil over first and add crsuhed garlic).
After 7 mins add pine nuts and 2 tablespoon of bal vinegar. Put back in oven for 8 mins.
Meanwhile toast bread and then generously spread with goats cheese. When mushrooms ready, put them on top of cheesy bread and sprinkle with Tarragon. Spoon remaining liquid and pine nuts over the top.
Serve with salad. Deliciosu!
(This is DDs favourite meal and then one she requested for her 4th birthday tea!
