Not pie, but soup!

Hi there

I have two little boys, 18 months and 4 years old.  Both my boys enjoy pasta, especially “Ronies” which is macaroni, very much.  And they would have this everyday if they can.  So I decided to put grated carrots, minced meat, peas, tomato, sweetcorn, macaroni alla mama sauce from Knorr and some grated cheese ontop.  They absolutely love it.  Now they will full tummies with a little goodness to it.

My disaster.  My family absolutely love Cottage Pie.  I dred making it.  It’s really easy and nothing much too it.  So I put on my braveness and started preparing this dish, I added veggies to the meat, and then, the wrong thing, a little bit of sauce, which I was hoping would stall a little into a pie.  After having the dish in the oven for an hour, nothing yet, still saucy, after another half an hour, still saucy, even more.

My whole family was so looking forward to this meal as we had a long day out in the park, with only snacks, and not real food, then I had to interrupt them while playing wrestling with Daddy in the lounge with my sad news.  We won’t have cottage pie, but Soup!  Daddy still tried to comfort me, Mommy why don’t we go buy a fresh bread and have some nice bread with the soup.  I bursted into tears. My 4 year old son came and hugged me wiping my tears and said Mommy don’t cry we can have Noorels like he calls it. 

My sweet sweet darlings.

Kind regards
Charmaine
