Ok, I’m not *that* dedicated.
Perhaps I could make more of an effort with the children’s lunches, but creating special shaped yolks in hard boiled eggs is going a bit too far for me.
This is how you do it:
Well, I got this amazing contraption….
You pour in eggwhites and put a rod inside with a patern you want your yolk to become. Then you boil the whites, remove the rod and pour in the yolks and boil again. It takes a lot of time because the whites take about 12 minutes to cook and then again about 12 minutes for the yolk to cook firm.You get cylindrical eggrods with a yolk picture in the middle which you can cut up into small hockeypucks like those. ^_^
I tried to make a moulded egg with a heart shaped measuring cup, but I failed miserably.
Today I had to go to the city office so I parked in the Central Markets. I had an ulterior motive – after I’d finished, I wanted to get a fresh lasagne for dinner and check out the Japanese shop for any bento items. No luck and no luck in Chinatown either. Oh well. I bought some medium sized white bowls with blue fish on them – our white Maxwell & Williams bowls seem to have disappeared. Also picked up a packet of Pocky sticks for A and some cute filled biscuits for the children. Bought the lasagne and figured that I should head home since I’d run out of hands and had no shopping bags on me.
Willow eats like a bird at the best of times and tonight looked to be no different. I served her lasagne and told her not to make me lecture her on all the children in the world who have no food. Parenting by guilt, that’s me! She looked at me and said “But we’re restaurant people, Mum!” I did tell her that the lasagne was bought from a shop that was like a restaurant, but she had the obligatory three bites, then three more and the rest went to the dogs.
