Jack, bless his heart, has been making a few noises about eating "fem" food... that is what he refers to my meals as.. "Fem" as in they are girl meals... so while in the supermarket yesterday, I spoted his favorite... Crumbed chops. I thought that I would earn lots of brownie points cooking them for his tea. I ate a vegie pasta dish as I couldn't quite come to eating the chops..
I even cooked them the way he would have cooked them. I got out my non-stick frying pan, and put about a cm of oil on the bottom and shallow fried them.... do you know that I haven't heard that sounds of oil and fat bubbling away in my kitchen for MONTHS... it was such a strange sound. In fact.. the olive oil that I cooked them in was months old... Once... I would buy a new bottle each fortnight or so... how things change!!! But, Jack tucked into this chops... heaven I am sure, in his eyes.
My weekend eating was ok. Saturday night I had a little cooking burnout and ordered take away. I was crap and I didn't eat much. I think I need to do that occasionally, just to keep me motivated to continue cooking good healthy meals. I have been trying lots of new receipes and loving doing it. Even though it is winter, the sun is coming out slowly and has been putting a little bounce in my step!
Ok, I have a huge ironing pile to tackle in my bedroom, so best be off!

Yes, the sun is coming out and it's making me happy too! LOL at cooking the oil. I haven't heard that noise for well over a year either. I reckon eating take out every once in a while is a good idea and it does makes you realise how much better home cooked meals are. Enjoy the ironing (think workout)!
LOL at the "fem" food quote - boys will be boys won't they?
My hubby feels the same about female food...lol
He actually uses the spray oil now!! I have not used the other stuff for ages!
Ps - there is no chance of another blogger bub...lol
Persist on, I actually got a male to enjoy chickpeas and tofu!!
hehe my boy doesnt get much of a choice - its either fem food or he starves!! heh, well, thats what happens when you wont learn how to cook!!
Altho, I have been spoiling him lately - cooking what he likes (chicken parmiganas, potato bakes etc) which probably accounts for the recent weigh gain!
where do you get your recipies from? i'd really like to start eating much better, even try vegetarian, but i find i have been sticking to what I know just coz it's easier!!
yay for sunshine!!!
