It's not to be, instead we're up doing all of the above, as well as going shopping, going to the tip, having a walk and providing human representations of the Total Wipeout course for small people to throw themselves across. His bedtime cannot come soon enough, and luckily as he was up extraordinarily early, it's not too far off. All we have to do is get through an ill-advised extension of our Sunday night dinners together...
Of course, it's not as bad as I've made out. Milo's been great *if* exhausting, and he needs no convincing to eat a dinner made out of two of his favourite things, even if he did go "Urrgggh!" when we showed him the pan:
It's a weird one this, effectively the other half of our other recent Leon broccoli discovery, only this time with sausages. Seriously though, that's it. We both think it needs something else, but we're at a loss to think what. Pasta would add far too much bulk - and actually swapping pasta for the broccoli makes it almost exactly Jamie's Proper Bloke's Fusilli - whilst any other veg would just seem limp. It's lovely but we're left nonplussed by it. Maybe it's a lunch?
Food of the Milos
Breakfast: Pancakes - these are becoming a bit of a Saturday morning tradition now, which is a nice way to start the day even if you'd rather the day started in the early afternoon.
Lunch: Grazed his way around Waitrose, featuring mainly blueberries, cherry tomatoes, salami and Fruit Pastilles, followed by crisps, houmous and carrot sticks at home.
Dinner: broccoli with sausage, chilli and fennel, although I didn't add the chilli. He wolfed it down.

What about throwing it over some raw baby spinach so that it wilts, bulks out the greens and makes it into more of a salad than a stirfry?
ReplyDeleteNow that is an excellent idea, particularly as I'm always throwing away half-opened/stuck-to-the-back-of-the-fridge bags of spinach
