A Childhood Treat

Ben has just recently fallen in love with ice-cream….. especially ice-cream in a cone….YUMMO.  He saw a picture of  neapolitan ice-cream (chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice-cream) on the ice-cream cone box and everyday he talks about it and talks about it and talks about it.  Andrew and I can both remember how special it was to have neapolitan  ice-cream when we were kids.  It was Andrew’s favorite (and anyone who knows Andrew knows that he doesn’t really have favorites as he is so easy going….. so it must be pretty special!!).  Well yesterday Ben’s dreams came true (and Andrew’s too).  I bought them a tub of neapolitan ice-cream.  Oh the JOY!!!  Childhood memories came flooding back as I watched Ben’s eyes light up.   Ben couldn’t decide what flavor he wanted…. so he kept tasting mine while eating his own xoxo

Gamma and Nanny xoxo

Ben made these portraits of his Grandmothers {who he refers to as Gamma and Nanny} for Mothers day.  They are seriously adorable and what makes them even more special is that Ben wrote his name of them.  The first time he has written is name.  What an achievement!!! I’m so proud!

Week 2 with Jamie – Soup and Salad…

WEEK TWO – Jamie’s Ministry of Food Ipswich – Soup & Salad

Some highlights from this week were  – a  tricky way to chop an onion, how to chop pretty carrots,  the claw chopping technique and how to make the tastiest Evolution Tomato Salad {seriously  so delicious!!!} .  The salad is referred as ‘evolution’ as you can eat it as a simple salad or step it up and make it into a meal.  Andrew and I will definitely make this again.  I am surprised I loved it so much considering it has olives and beans in it….. neither of which we eat regularly {But we will now!!}

The very talented Denalla  also guided us through making a Leek & Potato soup.  It is  a vegetable patch in a pot ….. and a little bit tasty.   We all took home a lovely pot of soup.  My four year old {who is slowly becoming a fabulous eater} ate it without much drama and gave Dad a thumbs up for his cooking ability…. Thanks Ben!!

Next week we are cooking breakfast – Smoothies, Porridge and French Toast…. super yum!!

Just Like Lightning!!

I switched the telly on this morning and car racing was on.  Ben caught a glimpse of it and before I could change the channel he was shouting out to Andrew  {Darn it!!! I wasn’t fast enough}.  I popped out of the room for a while and returned to the boys having a race of their own – Lightning McQueen verses Chic Hicks!  Lightning was the winner – Well done Ben !!
