Hurray for packet food!
Hallelujah, ah have seeeeen uh thu LIGHT! After ages poo-pooing food additives and carefully making up meals from scratch, repeating things like 5-a-day, fresh, wholefoods to myself while martyrishly scrubbing mud off the organic vegetables, I know now that NONE OF THIS IS NECESSARY.
There is this great stuff, the Swiss call it 'Stocki': basically, it's Smash. You boil up a bit of milk and water, stir in a packet of Stocki, and ta-daaa! You have mashed potatoes. And it tastes really nice. There is a bit of E this and that, but we didn't get hives and Emma didn't suddenly develop ADHD.
Tomorrow we will have banana custard. With Bird's custard powder! I can hardly wait.
Next week: the Scho's discover microwave meals!

You are such a great Mum - I have this fear that when I have kids I will have to take them round to look in the windows of women like you to show them what they could have had. . . . xx
Oh I miss Stocki.. and as for those microwave meals.. I hear they are good... :-) My husband would eat anything. As for my kids.. rice with ketchup works fine lol
Absolutely - moderation in everything, a bit of instant mash never hurt anyone. J discovered Pringles this week-end, loved that MSG.
oh, your descent has only just begun.....
Ezra has just eaten an extremely chocolatey mini roll and a Greggs sausage roll.
And me, an alledged foodie...
I do this too, throw in a few bits of chopped up ham, cover in grated cheese (out of a packet) and stick it in the oven and you have a childs gourmet meal !
If you really want to be exotic, crack an egg in the middle before sprinkling with cheese.
Is this in any way related to the "from now on I am only wearing smocks" post?
God, I miss a sausage roll.
Alexis: You're too kind. Shall I tell you about the time I left Emma to chew on the loo brush while I read a magazine?
Thanks for the tips, B, Lil and Leon.
Leanne and MM: Mmm. Greggs. Mmm. sausage rolls....wanders off in a trance to find some
Marie: yes, well-spotted. Smocks, smash - let's start a 70s revival!
