Williamson Park & the Butterfly House

Butterfly House
Originally uploaded by chiggster

My mum came over yesterday so we took the kids up to Williamson's Park. Tom dozed through most of it, but Jack had a great time. We went on the playground first and Jack ran round and round there and played with his football. Then we had a very over priced lunch (with the slowest service in Lancaster) before having a wander around the butterfly house, mini beast house and small mammal pens.

Well, when I say wander..... mum cuddled Tom and I followed Jack round while he charged round at 100 mph! He did enjoy it though, he counted the fish and birds, and was intregued by the crisalis case, and liked watching the stick insects tank get cleaned. He was a bit tired by the time we got to the bunnies and guinniepigs so he didn't really spend any time looking at them, just runing round the pens until his little legs almost gave out!

I got loads of photos and mini-vid clips on Flickr if you wanna look :o)

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
