Why dis wind sooo cool on such a lovely day?
Been asked like 3 x if Iβm going riding, but I have my sooky pants on.
Finished work early and.. just didn't feel like going home straight away. So I'm having a cheeky can of alco ginger beer in a part of a local park not frequented by children and their company or youths (I dislike drinking around children and will actively avoid it). Might have an extra can too. Because fuck it, that's why!
I am so freaking pleased to hear youβre taking some time for YOU!! You are such an amazing soul, carrying so much for your family, good on you for enjoying a moment!
I can't think of anyone more deserving π
that sounds nice too , ginger beer is so delicious and refreshing
now I want one πΉ

"Today the children pretended to eat the vegetables and say "yumm!"" You know what daycare, I will give you 500 bucks if that was actually the case! Given i watched tinyest pick out a fleck of zucchini from a casserole and when I asked him if he was gonna eat it he looked me dead in the eyes and said "Nooo".
They will eat anything at daycare and love it. You could make exactly the same recipe at home and they hate it. Welcome to the art of hiding vegetables.
Tbh zucchini is a low tier vegie.
(I planted it because it makes a lot of food.)
You take that back! Zucchinis are one of the most versatile veg out there. And delicious.
Idk I found them watery and tasteless, only really good as filler in a slice or meatloaf. I prefer pumpkin, spinach, carrots, broccoli, any of that.
I just wanted a crop I wouldnβt screw up and a lot of veg to give
Zucchini lasagne, zucchini boats, zucchini slice. Can't live without them. Love em.

Zucchini slice is the best.
Wash your mouth out with soap!
No thanks, I donβt like coriander either π§Όπ₯¬
I was really lucky, Miss Seagoon was pretty easy, only when older she developed likes and dislikes. No capsicum, no pumpkin and no no onion. I solved it by first, not making any drama at all if she didn't want something, she could leave it on her plate. And then when older letting her serve herself, that way there were no arguments
My kid was the same. Ate every vegetable. Still eats every vegetable except spring onion. From a very early age, around the table, we discussed the benefits of each veg (every veg is a Super food) and the fact vegetables give you good poo poos. Never had to hide them. Never separate meals.
I had a more tough love approach. You don't have to eat them but you'll go to bed hungry. Was that bullying? Probably yes. Does my kid have a problem with food? Not in the slightest.
Combine zucchini and bacon and you have food of the gods
Edit: and chargrilled or bbqd after soaking in seasoned olive oil
Yep. Feels. Inserting vegetables into small kids is a thankless task. Thank god(s) for meatloaf - and a food processor for pureeing suspicious items into unidentifiable goo. I am eternally grateful that homemade tomato sauce also contains an adequate quantity of vegetables.
Both my boys went through a 'vegetables are poisonous' stage, which was mercifully brief but hoo boy it was hard to cope with at the time!
I think the only reason my kid eats vegetables now is from peer group pressure at childcare, lol. No idea how they got the other kids there to eat them, though
I also became an expert at hiding extra veggies in things like bolognaise sauce
this coffee, slurp, is like the nectar of the gods , I need it
good day so far, got two floral blouses because I'm trying to wear less black, got a black denim jacket from dangerfield.
and a covid vaccine , i think this will tire me out
Just want to say thank you all again for the support yesterday. Truly a supportive space here with great advice. After going into the eye and ear today for a follow up her schedule has reduced which means less refusal and it's going to be a bit easier for her.
good news , I'm still sending all my "power wishes" π£ so she will get better soon
