Bragging rights

I am a very very proud mum! I'm proud of all of my kids. This week Jack is really shining!

His teacher took me aside & told me they are putting him on the 'proper' reading books next week - the only one in his class of 30. They remarked on how well he managed to get changed for P.E. and I get told about funny/sweet/smart things he comes up with like today: teacher "why is granny wrinkly?" Jack - in all seriousness "she's been in the bath too long." Teacher said it was the loveliest answer she'd had.

Jack is poorly at the moment. We all are (nasty lung infection which has taken down elderly mummy & daddy but the spritly young boys are struggling through). But he is determined to keep going to school. He loves it. He can't wait till next week when he can start staying for lunch, and then for Oct 1st when he can stay all day! So grown up....

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
