Baby Shower

Spoiled again... And completely blindsided by my mates with this one. Jill had invited me over this weekend ages ago to have a celebratory lunch on my first day of post-work-freedom. I'd toyed with the idea of doing my hair nice and slapping a bit of make-up on, but thought "Nah... Jill'll understand that the last thing I an be bothered doing is tarting myself up" (She's also pregnant) so just tied my hair back and went out with a flaky, un-moisturised and un-made-up face, maternity jeans and baggy jumper.

Of course when Gary dropped me off there it's not only Jill, but Jen and Sarah and Fran too, with banners and posters up for "Chiglets baby Shower", a table laden with gifts and a buffet in the kitchen!

We had a great afternoon, with mum-of-two Jen, Mum-of-one-and-one-on-way Jill, and first-bun-in-oven-me freaking out Fran and Sarah with stories of pregnancy, child-birth and motherhood in all it's glory! We stuffed our faces and drank about a million cups of caffeine-free tea.... and then came the prezzies!

Wiggle's done good again, a host of adorable outfits featuring bunnies, sheep and giraffes, and even a little jacket with a puppy-dog hood (with ears!), and snuggle toys. I also got a baby book to record those precious moments and some pamper stuff for me.

I will get round to taking a photo of some of these gifts we're getting at some point, I'm just feeling massive and lazy at the moment. But in the meantime: THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
