pasta with asparagus, pesto and poached egg & fish meatballs

To repay her for the previous two nights of fish, the anas get her current favourite pasta dish topped with a poached egg. She's feeling much better, so we eat it in the garden with a glass of vino, admiring the lawn.

It's so quick it gives me time to go for the hattrick of fish dishes in as many days, albeit fish meatballs for the milos. It's a Jamie Oliver recipe for kids I spotted in the 'archive' pile of Delicious' by my bed, and given I'm searching for new recipes for him they seem ideal. I make about a thousand, leave some out for him tomorrow and freeze the rest - apart from a couple of tasters for the chef. They are surprisingly meaty, and if he doesn't eat them I will...


Food of the Milos
Another bad day food, teeth and mood-wise, although he did have dippy egg to cheer him up at lunchtime, and pasta with cheese, blueberries and a yoghurt for dinner.
