we made up for it today, i woke up this morning and realised we had no bread for toast, and a very small selection of cereal, and we had the in-laws staying!! aaaargh! so we whipped up some bread, sort of! they were adapted from the basic bread recipe, but added sultanas, apple, walnuts allspice etc. they tasted yummy but were a cross between fruit bread and scones, everybody loved them though, were quite a good breakfast item.
then we served burgers (processed in tm) with the beetroot salad.
i went out this afternoon, for some rare time off from the kids, and dh had made icecream with the kids (i could tell from the pink stains on their t-shirts) and returned home to find a very stressed dh vacuuming up sand that the toddlers had tipped into the playroom! and them in time out in bedrooms!
we have just spent the evening doing a menu plan for the week, and after getting several ideas i said to dh "we dont have to do every item in the machine" and he pretended not to hear that comment! glad he is as enthusiastic about it as i am.
