Hi all *waving*
Have been stacked out all week and haven't managed to fit in my 'play' time on BW
However, it's now the Bank Holiday weekend (which is why it's raining outside
). DD is napping and DH is also in bed as he's on night shift so I thought I'd pop on and try to catch up a bit.
Khalam's Mama - you asked what pear butter was. It's a bit like a smooth jam - we bought it at a farmers market a few weeks ago. The stall sold lots of chutneys and 'butters' - apparently the were all the rage in Victorian times! Not sure if that's the same as the apple butter, Karen?
On the subject of the 'kiwi allergy' - I too would hold off them for a bit. DD went thru a stage where she would react to tomatoes. She totally loved cherry tomatoes and one day she came up in a rash around her mouth and on her face when she'd eaten them. At first I wasn't sure what it was as she hadn't had a problem before - however it happened again when she had them the next time, so I worked out what it was. We stopped having them for a while - but she's okay again with them now. The same thing happened a couple of weeks ago after she'd had lunch - a different type of beans than I would normally buy. Bizarrely enough they were an 'organic' brand that I bought cos they were in those small 'snap pots' - perfect size portion for her. Just wondered if Khalam's rash appeared after he'd eaten the kiwi (whenever we've experienced it the rash tends to appear before the end of the meal as I will notice it when wiping DD's face if not before) - I noticed that he'd had beans for lunch and just wondered if it might be those?
Amy - totally love the PJ-ed themed wedding. I would have LOVED to have been a guest
It's right up my street - am all about the comfy clothing
Hope Nathan's little bottom is back to it's peachy self
Mashi - welcome back
Looks like DS is doing okay with food (definitely improving
) - but am wondering what has happened to his daily intake of dishwasher tablet
Karen - thanks for sharing your lasagne recipe. There's been a bit of a discussion on the meal planning thread (another one I need to catch up with) about the 'white sauce' in a lasagne. I had always thought it was bechamel all the way - but LOVE the sound of the ricotta based one. Found out this week that DD totally loves lasagne so need to find a good recipe so that I can add it to our rotation - I've only recently started eating red meat again (after a lot of years) so I only ever made the veggie option. Totally fell in love with the home-made one that DD and I had the pleasure of sampling this week
Anyway . . . here's what DD has been eating over the past few days.
