[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 23756, member: 1991"] G'day, Fran, Sharon and whoever follows. Fran, enjoy y our break. You've earned it. Sorry to heat difficult child is copping nasty stuff though. Some horseplay is one thing, but when it's not wanted or it's upsetting, it's inappropriate. Sharon, I'm glad difficult child held it together for the tournament and afterwards. It's good when things come together well. I'm totally wiped out. The evening bun rush has finally finished and I've left husband finishing clearing the debris while I copy a HUGE file for difficult child 3 to take to school tomorrow. We have to go into the city for a state-wide writing test so I'm taking the opportunity to hand in work completed which includes this PowerPoint presentation on composting. It's now occupying half my memory stick. It takes about ten minutes to play the thing - his teacher is in for a shock, I suspect. Tonight I had planned to feed leftovers to people - we've been accumulating bits and pieces when I've been experimenting with filo pastry, for example. I have a batch of cheese and spinach filo rolls which I was late cooking two nights ago so everybody was too tired when they were done. I'm going to have to freeze them. easy child 2/difficult child 2 isn't feeling well (hasn't been for two months) and is VERY picky about food, always wanting something different but eating very little of it, if any, when it's ready. New recipes take time to get right, so too often she's gone to bed without eating much. And there's some cooked sausages which were for people to snack on instead of eating rubbish - but they've been eating rubbish. So I figured - tonight's the night. But I knew I'd need to make more food with what spare ingredients I had, so I made chicken supreme (using leftover stock and a surplus of red capsicum) and then some sushi, from a salmon fillet I'd bought yesterday afternoon, forgetting that the kids wouldn't be home. husband ate the solitary spinach, mushroom and cheese roll which left the rest of the plain spinach ones. Everybody else ate chicken supreme. I made a batch of sushi (being so tired I made it inside out, accidentally) and was too tired to eat much myself.
