Unfortunately I forgot that although Anna Hansen's recipe is remarkably easy (and tasty), you do have to let the mashed potato mixture cool down before you add the fish. All of which means we don't eat until quite late.
Luckily the cakes are quite 'dense', so our hunger pangs are quite easily satisfied. I even got the eggs right this time *despite* forgetting The Hairy Biker's top poached egg tip:
To be honest, I'm not being entirely honest when I say "we" were starving by the time we ate this evening, because I wasn't. This was almost-completely because I went for lunch with co-colleague Tom Morgan at the Indian YMCA. £8 for fish curry (he had chicken), rice, poppadoms, chapati, dhal, and chana masala? No wonder he looks so happy!
Food of the Milos
Sausages big and little are out on the razz today at nursery, before heading over to Melissa's in Surbiton in the afternoon. The traveling clearly affects his diet because today he gourmandises for Blighty.
Breakfast: honey on toast. He has rice cakes, apple and a satsuma on the way back from Nursery;
Lunch (at Melissa's): Pasta with cream cheese and ham, yoghurt, rice krispies and marshmallow squares. Melissa also provided him with a picnic to eat on the way back in the car, consisting of a ham sandwich, mini jaffa cakes and some dried mango;
Dinner: Sausages, spaghetti and yoghurt.

Wow, Milo's meals sound delicious! Pasta with cream cheese and ham used to be a winner here actually, might have to try it again. I am trying to make proper lunches for the girls rather than grazing as they are both super hungry at the moment.
ReplyDeleteSarah I'd love to say he eats everything, well actually he does eat most things we give him, but it'd be nicer if he did it himself rather than letting us shovel it into his mouth.
