Where oh where does the time go? It’s like Ioan eats it with the same enthusiasm with which he eats his fingers (teething, wow, that’s not exactly a bundle of fun is it?!). Anyway, I have been planning my menus, but each time Sunday pops around I realise I don’t have time to write up my blog post because *someone* is expecting a bath / feed / cuddle (and that’s not even Andrew).
Today, I am trying to make a real effort to blog. Over the past weeks I have managed a few moments of deliciousness, including lamb stew served with cheesy pearl barley (as seen on Jamie Oliver’s Superfood programme):
French onion soup with cheese toasties:
Homemade pasta and meatballs:
Pumpkin soup:
Fish curry:
Hot smoked salmon kedgeree:
Minced beef and stilton ‘wellington’:
Vietnamese style caramelised pork:
This week the freezer clear out starts in earnest, so the plan is as follows:
- Tonight – vegetarian lasagne for meat free Monday
- Tuesday – lamb stew from the freezer
- Wednesday – salmon curry
- Thursday – M&S chicken in breadcrumbs
- Friday – takeaway!
- Saturday – sausages and jacket potatoes
- Sunday – corned beef pie from the freezer
And onto some photos of the boy himself, in recent weeks Ioan has been … an Irish leprechaun:

A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle:
The stay puft marshmallow man (from Ghostbusters):
Gorgeous boy! x
He certainly is 🙂
