Hungry Boy's First Curry

Yum! Yum! What a lucky Hungry Boy! At the tender age of 8months the Hungry Boy tucks into his first curry. We're trying to get as diverse as possible range of tastes and textures into him before he has a chance to get fussy. All going very well so far.

He has only turned down one thing and that was from a pouch when we were on the road, and when I tasted it it was as bland as could you imagine food being- rubbish. No wonder he turned his nose up at it.

We chucked out the Baby Weaning Books some time ago. No more puree and soft foods, this man wants to use his special tooth power to chomp on Big Person's food!

So I went for a mild Spinach, Chickpea and Sweet Potato curry, flavoured with Garlic, Garam Masala, Cinnamon, Cardamom and smallest bit of Chilli, then finished with Coconut milk..... Sweet and Mild. Served with Cous Cous and wee bit of Naan- pretty good rusky teething material as it turns out (though maybe a bit salty, so not too much!).

Lucky Hungry Boy had his Ready Brek made with leftover Coconut milk the morning after. Super Calorific and Super Yummy!

The On Going Gingerbread Saga

Well, the first attempt was very much like a dense very gingery flapjack. Not bad, but not much like Grasmere Gingerbread.

Attempt two; More like a ginger crumble. Pleasant enough but even less like Sarah Nelson's. Hmm.... Back to the drawing board, Third time lucky..? (My father in Law is helping me to eat the results from these experiments so it's not all bad)
