Okay, so this is the third Saturday night running we've done and eaten exactly the same thing, but technically we *are* middle-aged now, and there's something very comforting and satisfying about a demi-healthy meal, replete with what are effectively curry chips, and a good murder on the TV.
Actually we do have some variety today. Although we don't deviate from the now-established weekend breakfast of pancakes (note to self: must buy more maple syrup), Kendra and Finn come over for a morning romp to take their minds off their post-NZ jet lag. Later whilst Milo gets his haircut, I get some man-romping action in with a rampaging (my description) performance at Number 8 in the Vets pack. I even scored our last try from approximately minus one metre when our fly-half made the mistake of passing when all he needed to do was fall over to score. Sadly, despite having to jump at four in the line-out, nobody will lift me as I'm deemed too athletic - the shame! After all that, who wouldn't want to eat curry chips?
Food of the Milos
Brunch: toast-banana cakes-apple nibbles, more toast, three pancakes;
Dinner: Defrosted vegetable pasta bolognese, yoghurt, hole in the wall game, total wipeout

Yes, yes, we too are starting to feel old and set in our ways but as the "youf" says, if it isn't broken, don't f**k with it.
ReplyDeleteI also meant to say that maple syrup is on my shopping list too!
ReplyDeleteWell quite, although given I used to slink off home on a Friday night to watch Frasier and eat a take away curry from the Munal with Ana Louise rather than drink champagne and take coke with the rest of the new media bubble brigade in 97, can I say I've really moved on?
