Prawn, avocado and chilli pizza. Aldi had some plain pizza bases and so H-G loaded mine with passata, onions and avocado. He had peppers and onions and Baby-G had ham and cheese. Easy and tasty.
Taco Tuesday with the meaty-beany mix I made last week and froze.
Saturday night I made an easy cheats version of Macaroni cheese. I bought pre-made cheese sauce as although I enjoy some meditational stirring of bechemel sauces I was not really in the mood for it today. I also pureed some marinated artichokes to include in the sauce in order to surreptitiously up the vegetable quotient for Baby-G.
Topped with panko breadcrumbs for texture and crunch
Served with cucumber and apple slices on the principle that apple goes with cheese and the crisp crunch offset the rich cheesy sauce really well.
We spent the afternoon watching this DVD
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Kids_and_It
Four children and It. Based on the Jacqueline Wilson book which was itself based on the 1902 book by E Nesbitt. We all enjoyed it. I was a bit dubious because I loved the original book and sometimes find re-makes a bit pointless. But I enjoyed this alot. It was escapism and fun. Although I kept questioning the parenting skills of the parents in the film – loudly. But it was fun and a good way to spend a cold and windy afternoon. More to the point it held Baby-G’s attention which is this age of Minecraft is unusual.
