OK, I think I could manage one. Thanks.
do you know what Dave. . .
. . .I cooked roasties (and I do roast an excellent potato, I'll have you know)(King Edwards), yorkshire puds, carrots, brocolli, or perhaps it was broccoli, beans (baked, just the way you like them) and served a choice of either chicken kiev or the one that has ham and cheese in it (did I ever mention that they don't all eat the same thing?) AND beautiful gravy
and not one child was happy
NOT ONE
AND I made a lemon drizzle cake for pudding, and noone even had a slice
sometimes I just feel like giving up
Well.....pffffffffffftttttt to them!
OMGosh himself makes a mean roasted veggies thing. Awesome--and I like mine without meats, ty.
And frankly, I'd kill for a piece of that lemon drizzle cake.
RAWR to the POV's being silly.
Now--this is where I tell you have perfectly adolescent they're all being, of course. And this is where I share I surrendered any culinary attempts to please them with ANY meal.....save pizza and lasagne. I cooked, it was served--eat or don't. LOL Small wonder I became the mean mom with dumb rules, eh?
You're much more patient and loving than I was, bless your heart.....
((((((((((( ILTV ))))))))))))
You're a good mom.
Don't doubt that one.
Those look tasty! :)
Love them to bits :)
Little .... darlings.
Pizza is easiest. Did I tell you my youngest was vegetarian from age five to about sixteen - only she secretly gave it up around thirteen but didn't admit it at home. All those lovingly prepared veggie specials on Sunday!
I could do with someone to cook for me while I'm so tired. I'd appreciate your efforts.
Dave it would be a pleasure to cook for someone who appreciated it
shame we live so far apart
mig darlings they are, one and all - they have pizza and other fast(ish) food with their father at the weekends, which is why I try and cram their five-a-day into them during the week
when my big brother became a vegetarian my mother started cooking all sorts of wonderful meals, which my father didn't like so he got something else, and my little brother was fussier than my three so he got something else again, so she made me promise that I'd only ever cook the one meal to avoid ending up in that situation myself. . .
. . .trouble is, I'm a soft touch
shot they are as tasty as they look!
Mel I was a rawwwwring and a pffffffffffting, believe you me!! I once made Teen Two almost cry because I insisted he eat something he didn't want to and said if he didn't eat it he'd miss a birthday party. . . he's very stubborn, missed his party, kept the tears at bay and I was the one who ended up sobbing and feeling so ashamed of my behaviour
my father used to put plates with uneaten food in the fridge and then he'd bring them out for the next meal - I promised myself I wouldn't parent like that. . .
it's a fine balance between a push-over, being firm and/or being a tyrant
Always such a struggle.
I expect in old age I shan't be the only one to turn up my nose at delicious meals perfectly and lovingly prepared by my nearest and dearest...
...probably through having secretly gorged myself on custard creams and Lucozade (Wincarnis on Sundays) ten minutes before.
I do like this blog, now that I've found it. It's impossible not to feel immediately at home in it.
Christoper flattery will get you somewhere very interesting indeed
(-;
I'm kidding - the only place I ever go is around in circles and meobious loops. . .
it's a long time since I've had a custard cream. . . and I can remember, when I used to, that I'd split the biscuity bits apart and lick off the custardy bit and then begrudingly eat the biscuity bit
(the opposite of Kit-Kats, where I nibble off the chocolate from the outside first, then begrudingly eat the biscuity bit)(oh, actually, that's the same, isn't it)(blogging is a little like only ever having the interesting part of a treat, and never having to deal with the begruding part, eh)
(what is Wincarnis?)
Oh, I suspect that's a bit of how the Brit feels as he's making dinner for me.
Years back himself promised I wouldn't have to eat anything I didn't like.
He does, however, use bribery on the quantity. :-/
(to some success! LOL)
Wincarnis is a supposedly tonic wine favoured by the elderly and certain Caribbeans who mix it with meths or amyl acetate for extra zip.
I believe it was developed under a label of medicinal respectability to avert reference of alcohol, thus avoiding Victorian moral strictures as exemplified by the immortal couplet
'...and the lips that have tasted wine jelly
Are lips that will never taste mine, Nelly.'
(wine jelly reminds me of one of Delia's summer creations) (she makes it with champagne, don't you know)
so, does that make you an OAP or an islander, Christopher. . .
(just give me a little smack if I'm beong too cheeky, and I'll know where to curb it next time)
Mel I wouldn't have had you down for someone influenced by bribery!! (c'mon, spill the proverbial beans - what does he bribe you with?)(would it work on my lot?!?!?!?)
*wipes custard cream crumbs from lips, takes final swig of Cilit Bang, smacks I,LTV's wrist*
I'm rather liking the thought of you wiping custard cream crumbs from your lips. . .
*smacks own wrist*
(I'd better stop that, or Vicus might get upset)
Cilit Bang?!?!? I'm more of an Ajax kinda gal
