Pocket money day

I have been teaching my kids the valuable lesson of earning your own money to buy the things you want. I have been getting them to tidy their own rooms to earn pocket money, this also teaches them the value of money and they appreciate the time it takes to get things like Xbox games which are expensive.

My 5 year old Kaelan however has decided the lesson he wants to learn from this is that ppl who have spare cash, pay someone to do the jobs that they don’t like!

Hmmm I think he might of missed the point and instead made his brother 50p better off as well! Actually 50p to tidy 1 room is a steep rate I should surely earn £6 a day for tidying the whole house??? I wish

I ❤ salsa!

6 ingredients are all that’s in it, I have used

5 tomatoes
2 red onions
I small pot of coriander
1 red chilli
3 Cloves of garlic ( that is probably a bit excessive but I like garlic and its for my tea!), 1 or 2 will do depending on how much you like it
Ketchup – I’m using Heinz firecracker sauce today coz it was on special offer but normal ketchup does just as good a job.

All you need to do is dice the tomatoes and chop the onions and put them into a bowl. Put the garlic cloves, coriander and chilli into a food processor, or use a blender to chop them finely. I chop them by hand but a lot of ppl are not keen to do this as everything you touch afterwards tastes like chillis! Put the chilli & garlic combo in the bowl and mix the lot together and Bob is quite literally your uncle!

We use freshly made salsa in our mariachi bandit as there is just no comparison between freshly made salsa and the sort you get in a jar. Plus when you make it yourself you can use as much or as little garlic & chillis as you want. Not a fan of coriander? switch it for parsley or basil, if you don’t like tomatoes tho you’ve had it coz u can’t swap that for anything else :/

Cash & Carry day

Seeing as though Monday was a bank holiday, our cash n carry day has been shunted to today.

I was quite frankly amazed when I saw the floor to ceiling, sweets, crisps & chocolate the first time we went to the cash and carry. Now its just a chore, you go to tesco, aldi or asda and I go to the cash and carry.

It’s a case of getting in and getting out again with what you want as quick as you can, before you spot a bargain and come out with 48 peanut butter Kit Kats ( yes I’m speaking from experience)

Blinkers required? Yes they most certainly are!

Quiche ahoy!

Got my little apprentice making quiche today only problem is there always seems to be 1 piece missing when Kealey does it. 6 slices out of a flan tin Kealey not 5! Try to resist the lure of the quiche x
