Alex and I went out to a pub for a bite to eat on Wednesday night, which just so happened to be quiz night, the £1 entry fee included a raffle ticket. And guess what!! Little us, who never win anything, won a bottle of fizzy wine masquerading as champagne yippee. We gave it to our babysitter (Granny) and told her that we’d bought a special gift for her efforts. Haha, needless to say she didn’t believe us, so the truth was outed but the thought still counted.

Tip for other mums to try - Pesto. Yes, that herby, nutty, oily, parmesany stuff is going down a TREAT in the Douglas household. So far, successful dishes have included pesto linguine with toasted pine nuts, red onion and extra parmesan and pesto rice which had leftover sweetcorn, baby tomatoes and spring onions through it. It would seem that the most unusual combinations can be a real hit. I’m not complaining though, there was like, three vegetables and about the same amount of food groups in that dish, it’s got to be better than bread (which is Erin’s favourite, brown, white, cranberry, naan, garlic, they all have a special place in Erin’s diet) I don’t think she’s going to be a low-carber when she grows up anyway!
