Dad was allowed in the kitchen to broil the steaks or make steamed chocolate pudding. Otherwise it was Mom's domain. Oh, and you ALWAYS had some dessert after dinner. Mom never succeeded in getting Dad or I to actually like liver and onions-I think it was her idea to BBQ it that did us in...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-71386677452157334902007-07-27T13:40:00.000+01:002007-07-27T13:40:00.000+01:00When she went shopping she took a basket and when ...When she went shopping she took a basket and when it was delivered, it came in a box.

Heavy on the pre-prepared, baked in the oven type of thing.<BR/><BR/>The food at the High School is excellent though, varied, with something to appeal to everything. I always look forward to an excuse to eat there.<BR/><BR/>My children ate with us from an early age. Mainly, I was too lazy to do a separate nursery tea, so they had to wait until 7 or so and eat what we ate!Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-20612816548346407872007-07-27T11:56:00.001+01:002007-07-27T11:56:00.001+01:00Me too, Dave, I wonder what I'll have for lunch.Me too, Dave, I wonder what I'll have for lunch.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-52187540964340502652007-07-27T11:56:00.000+01:002007-07-27T11:56:00.000+01:00Mmm...One of the sad parts of our modern life is t...Mmm...<BR/><BR/>One of the sad parts of our modern life is that we don't eat with the kids during the week. They are fed before my wife comes home. As such, the tend to be served a small cold tea (not cold as in bad, but smoked fish, meats, breads, veg & cheese). They get their big hot meal from school, and get very goods ones these days. Looking at the menus I'd be happy to eat the same.<BR/><BR/>Weekends though, we go all out. Usually one cold meal one hot and cooked. Breakfast might be either. We do still do the occasional mixed grill though!<BR/><BR/>Pudding is either yogurt, ice cream, fruit, or I push the boat out and bake. I do love my crumbles and home made ice cream!The Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052411992134880131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-16625587808286921302007-07-27T11:51:00.000+01:002007-07-27T11:51:00.000+01:00I'm starving now.I'm starving now.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.com
