Jacks school play

So sad that we couldn't use cameras during the show. I really wanted to record it. But we couldn't so here's the photos instead!

Jack was a King (or Wise Man as they were when I was a kid) and he was fab. Not many speaking roles for the reception class, no words for the kings, but they did have to dress up and walk round in front of a large crowd of folk - twice yesterday and once more today - and our Jack isn't great at dressing up, or walking calmly, or doing anything under instruction in front of an audience! He was  brilliant! Walked nicely with the other kings and the camels, gave his gift to the baby, and sang along the best he could. I'm a very very proud mummy.

Nice promotion for him too after last years total refusal to be a donkey!

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
