Actually it *doesn't* quite come together properly tonight, mainly because somehow the rocket had managed to freeze itself to the back of the fridge, and is now a splodgy mess. It definitely affects the flavour, and I don't use quite enough seasame oil either. Ho hum.
Food of the Milos
Now, after the last couple of weeks of up and down, we're definitely, definitely in a low period. Our usual excuse is "he's in a growing phase". It's probably close to the truth now - everything, everything is hard work, and the smallest thing ends in tears, but he's eating loads: A massive fruit salad for breakfast (bananas, apples, raspberries, grapes and blueberries), followed by a picnic of snacks sat on a log in richmond park. No lunch, but left-over chicken and pasta salad for dinner. And a jelly.

roast chicken & three-rice salad (although I use one rice) - Delicious, July 2008, p64
Our left over Roast chicken meal is risotto with peas, just sounds better than salad right? Ron makes a budget/low fat version with no cream and only the tiniest smidgen of parmesan. As for Milo, well he is either entering or leaving the six months prior to his birthday and I read somewhere that this is a time of major developmental changes in little people. What that means is basically you are bang in the middle of those terrible twos! My best coping mechanism is the distraction technique and also, don't try and discipline him during this stage, its just going to end in tears for you all. Rather take the calm parent approach and medicate with wine and you will get through it.
