Food & Drink

[Begborrowsteal]

My boy is a beige fan. From about 18m old to now at 5yrs old. He isnt keen on some textures (im funny with them too), hes genuinely offended/frightened by new foods. Its a pain in the a!

Talking about age gaps... my partner is 14 years older me! Not quite Keir Starmer Daddy material mind

My husband's seven years older than me, which doesn't sound like much, but it always surprises me when I remember I don't know why! Then again, somehow I'm in my mid-thirties with a mortgage and a baby, which is clearly impossible because I'm obviously far too young for such things... (I'm clearly just in denial about ageing, then)

My youngest won’t eat baked beans, jam, ketchup or anything ‘saucy’ or touching on the plate. Doesn’t like fizzy drinks either some of this is obviously good (as my eldest goes mad for a fizzy drink) but come on ! Baked beans!

He obviously wants you to rinse them

slight tangent (but not OT) who was it who recommended the Aldi watermelon lollies on the main JM thread?
OMG they are totally lush and I am forever in your debt!!!

Things are developing with various issues I’m getting tested but we reckon she’ll be early / potentially induced early so pretty much any day now is a possibility

I hope everything will be ok with her/you. I also really hope Jackie isn’t a family name that you wanted to use for her...

I had a flake for breakfast #nutritious because I don’t usually fancy anything til much later, but wanted something sugary so baby moves on my scan!

Literally so excited, I haven’t seen her in months now (minus her foot quickly on an abdominal scan I got for other health stuff) and covid meant we missed out on one of those 4D scans where the babies look like melted candles? Hoping they’ll be able to see a little face!

I hope you got a nice clear view of your baba! Baby scans are the BEST. I had extra scans during pregnancy (I had gestational diabetes) and I loved seeing my baby so much

I fear I’m in the minority but the idea of mint chocolate turns my stomach

Babe, same.

I like mint, I like chocolate but ne'er the twain shall meet for me

Wow mate - that’s exciting? Imminent? Sorry, don’t know to pitch this. Hope everything’s ok. Will be thinking of you if you go quiet here!

I love baked beans with brown sauce, or spicy beans (fancy!). When we got Gousto they have a spicy bean recipe that I copy now, it was fab! I can’t imagine a life without beans and I don’t even eat them that frequently?!

I have no idea on how imminent scarily! I think next week would be the very earliest thankfully, husband is in panic overdrive making iPhone notes and frequently asking me where the cereal bars are??

And thank you @Mustard will check them out!!

I guess it's good to have a focus?!

Much love to you though @heretoreaditall2019, hope you are managing to be excited amongst all the complicated and fast-moving *stuff* x

Good luck with the impending everything! Those last two items I posted would be good for ease when no one has time to cook. That will be you very soon. You can add soy and chilli sauce plus a protein to the stir fry. The burgers are very chicken like and I would add the normal burger accompaniments. Great in a pita too.

I listened to the Jay Rayner (not on Sounds), interview with Cathy Burke. I love her.

Black beans are very good to pimp. These are on offer at Ocado, as are the Peppadew peppers.

Black beans, avocado and Nando’s sauce is the best combo ever

Love a black bean. I cook up a big pot about once a week with onions, garlic, peppers, carrots and loads of smoked paprika. Then chuck in some sweetcorn near the end.

Not tried the Nando’s sauce in a long while. I like the green Tabasco sauce or the Cholula sauce. I soften onions before heating beans and add cumin, vinegar, butter and hot sauce.

Where do buy your dried beans?

Have you tried mint aero balls? They are delish

I made a mint aero cheesecake decorated with the balls, husband said it sounded awful but did manage to eat a lot of it!

At the start of lockdown, me and the kids did a week of his workouts.
bleeping killed my thigh muscles and I couldn’t walk up and down the stairs properly. Also found him realllly annoying - all of the ‘Nicki! Shout outs! Oh my god, we’ve got 600,000 viewers’ blah blah blah

I did his plan a couple of years ago and it has knackered my knee forever. He is horrible, agree @Brian Butterfield he is a complete narcissist and will not stop filming those poor children. I can’t bear him and his stupid squeaky voice

Tesco now as it's the nearest supermarket but Waitrose and Sainsburys before that x
