Grumpy boy

It's been a hard week this week with one thing and another. Jack was in a huge grump all Monday. It wasn't his fault, but despite having so much fun at the weekend, the break in routine upset him. He's used to sleeping at certain times, and those times only, so the combination of long car rides through the day where he slept, and late nights, wasn't good. Something we'll have to be careful of in future.

Tuesday had him pretty much back to normal, but Wednesday was jab day! His 16 week inoculations. 3 of them! He hated it. He screamed. He bled!

And true to form all day Thursday he hated me. I'm the evil parent who lets people stick pins in him. He had smiles for daddy, and nanna, and even total strangers. Me? Well, he screamed and kicked and refused to eat unless he was starving.

Very hurtful!

Still, today I seem to be forgiven. I can't help but wonder if his tasty home made butternut squash dinners might have something to do with it!

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
