I always make dinner during the day, so by the time the kids get home they can have their tea, otherwise they winge and end up eating something they shouldn't.

Today it was roast chicken, carrots, cabbage, green beans, garlic mushrooms, sweet potato mash and gravy. I had a tinsy bowl of mash and gravy, cos I was having spicy pasta when Mr.Ransi got home.

i have had to eat boring food for 17 years ( having children) "I don't like that!!!!"
we eat good food but it''s all so boring sometimes....must have eaten twenty tones of potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, stew, spag bol, chilli, roasts, blah blah blah...my husband does most of the cooking as he gets home before me... we all hate celery... and strange as it is.... my husband makes a point that i always have beetroot in the cupboard... my retort is.. "well you don't know when you might have guests".. can't have enough tins of beetroot in the cupboard.. or salmon...or pineapple and carnation milk.... just in case we have guests!!!!!!!know what i mean!!!!!
