Terrible

Thank you @TheDragonWithAFlagon - and apologies for her teeth monopolising the thread! I like to think Jamie is keeping tabs on us and reading all this.

She did manage some bread today, and we’re having jacket potatoes tonight, as some idiot (me) forgot to defrost the mince.

I have a little travel waterpic! I was a bit worried it might break the braces, so good to hear that is an option. She’s alternating ibuprofen and paracetamol which is working well.

I’ve always wanted braces, and was going to get them at the same time, but an old root canal means there’d be a high chance I’d lose a lower tooth at the front, so have to live with my wonky teeth. Gutted. Still, at least I can eat crunchy things.

SORRY JAMIE

The scone pudding thing looks lovely. I am going to try it with birds powder and teacakes (maybe if brave try a plant based scone) and put it in my multi cooker so Mrs T can have it.

Real salmon and fresh lemons. What kind of weirdo is he?

Isn't it nice to see someone cooking something simple, tasty and enjoying the process & end result?
Not a salmon fan but I love the lasagne sheet idea. It’s obviously a bit more expensive than dried pasta but it isn’t hugely expensive that it would make a nice treat and be ready quickly.
The burgers looked nice.

cant wait to see this toffee apple thing
 
Thank you Grifty, those sound lovely. They were only fitted last Friday, so I think they’re still a bit painful. She’s taking soup to school tomorrow, and she’s not ventured beyond mash, yoghurt, jelly and scrambled egg so far! I’ll try some overnight oats for the morning (no tinned carrots involved).

When my youngest had them fitted, what drove her mad was things getting trapped in between her teeth, even more than the braces themselves - I bought her a waterpik so she could get everything out without any digging around when she had already complained that she felt like she was been repeatedly kicked in the mouth.

She found nuggets and chips were a good start for the eating solids again process. As I think most of them do. And then I could persuade her that actually eating some vegetables and rice/pasta was a reasonable thing to move on to once she'd got the idea that not all solid food was going to hurt.

Oh, and paracetamol.

I’m sorry but the recipe for the scone, tinned custard and strawberry recipe is quite frankly patronising. I couldn’t believe it. I use to like him but I think he’s tone deaf and pointless.
Where is this recipe? In the new book? Mine arrived today and I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet properly
