My first ever chocolate fondue on Tuesday went down very well indeed. I had to hurry to get the photo taken before it disappeared completely!
I am working on planning the meals a little better. For example, I usually stock the fridge up with assorted compulsory vegetables, but don’t actually have a strategy in mind for using them. This means that I waste a lot of vegetables, or end up using them when they need rescuing, rather than when they are brilliantly fresh and yummy.
Some people have a routine: Monday is Chicken, Tuesday is Fish, Wednesday is pasta etcetera. I have been considering regularly having Dessert on Tuesdays so that we get to have supper together: Damien comes home late so he can collect Bethany from Dancing. By then the younger kids have already eaten, and are in the bath. It is nice to gather back up at the table for some yummy together time, but it won’t always be this decadent.
Part of my food focus has included a trial of internet grocery shopping. My 2 attempts so far have gone really well.

What a lovely idea to have Dessert Tuesday's. I love how the youngers ones can be clean and ready for bed just in time for Damien and Beth to get home. What a beautiful way to bring the family together and have fun before settling down for bed. These family traditions are so important and are often the threads that keep us all together in the business of our week. :) Lizxx
*note to self... visit on a tuesday* Decadent dessert there Mim, very cool idea!
Maybe I should put supermarket online ordering + delivery on my house wish list...
Go internet shopping! Hoe are you finding it Miriam? I love it! Only way I can budget without fear of a blow out at the counter :)
