A love of food

It's funny how our lives have changed since the ladies have entered our lives. eating out being one of the biggest casualties of owning a home, having one income and then rediscovering my love for cooking. As the girls have transitioned onto solid foods i have been experimenting on what they will eat. They surprise me constantly in what they will try. For example last night we had chicken tikka masala, which they LOVED! Score I love Indian food...so I will continue to experiment with those dishes and it's a heck of a lot cheaper to do it at home than eat out. We have also had spare ribs this week and chicken with dried cherries all of which went down without too much fuss.

I really hope as they get older they will help me choose some of the meals that we have. I have this vision that I will continue my new tradition of picking a random country and having a dinner based on their cuisine, I kind of envision printing out things for the table like the national flag maybe for place mats or something with a placard in the middle with the country's name and a picture of where it is in the world. Hehe I could also put some random facts too including the language spoken and other types of food they eat.
