After seeing the weather report for the coast earlier, we decided against going to Bridlington. Instead we stayed home.
The Brothers Thing did what the Brothers Thing do - namely wind me and Mr C up.
Today had one thing in its favour, I don't have to be at work until midnight tonight. Yes, that is the one thing this little old Wednesday can boast, no late shift for BeeBee.
So what did I do instead? This morning in the interest of what I am referring to as #rocknrollparenting I attempted to plan meals for the next week and a half (give or take). This comprised of looking at a couple of recipe books then stalking @pintrest boards, I then came to conclusion that I have a slight chicken addiction.
About the one thing I saw that wasn't chicken based and that I wanted was a Tomato & Cucumber Salad that had a similar dressing to one the Blue Meanie used to use on a green salad back in the 80s. Got to love a secret ingredient... now just how secret is a secret when you have a recipe blog?
Back to the meal planning, Thing 2 has decided in his wisdom he really wants beef pie... proper beef he says, but not chunks. Is that mince or not? I do know he will let me use gravy, which is a bonus for a good pie. Thing 1 seems to think I am unable to cook a Sunday Lunch or make my own Yorkshire Puddings. Short memory these kids, I can make a Sunday Lunch - I just choose not to as they tend not to eat mine as they're not the same as Nana's.
Phase 2 of my #rocknrollparenting comprised of cleaning the kitchen! I know how to live don't I? Erm... the jury is out on that one. At least I now have a presentable kitchen. Just the bathrooms and the patio to go. Anyone got a bomb or at least a flame thrower?
