roast chicken & salad

Monday Bloody Monday! Having spent a week in the house of biscuits and cakes AKA Kayosaurus' house, the anas have decided I'm too fat to get into my bikini and with Italia only two weeks away, drastic action is required. I'm immediately put on a no-alcohol and salad diet for the week. Boooo! And I'm the one who goes to the gym - gah!

Sadly the Ocado man doesn't have any chickens for our delivery so a crack blonde mummy and baby shopping squad heads out to pick a nice bird for the evening.

Interestingly, having had roast chicken and salad the anas, like a famished victorian orphan, wants more. Not only that, she takes the remaining breast meat reserved for tomorrow's salad because 'it's easier'. I'm suspicious...

Food of the Milos
Due to the fact we've not got any food in the house when we get back from our mini-break, we defrost some classic meatballs for him. I'm going to have to make some more because we've run out now - lucky summer seems to have finished so it might just be cold enough to mix up a batch.
