Worm's World

No one should be this excited by Salad

I'm putting these up here because I need an easy place to find them when I go shopping later. I understand all the concepts behind BLW, I'm happy with it in principal and Brit appears to be enjoying it in nursery but this will be the first weekend at home since he's been eating solids and I'm pretty sure you can't feed babies cup a soup and I don't really know what to buy...

I think this is my favorite picture of the last 6 months -  It's me getting ready to do my talk at LudoLunch (a family friendly game developer picnic in Oxford I co-hosted over the weekend). I suppose it's a nice sample of the kind of things we've been up o in the last 6 months since Brit was born. I didn't really mean to take a massive break from the blog - I took a longer blog maternity leave then I did actually maternity leave - I suppose I didn't want to bore you about how great being a mam to such a wonderful little boy is. It's not that I've shielded him away from social media - there's plenty of Facebook pictures and he has his own twitter account ( @BCWearn ). How Brit tweets So I might start posting again, this might become a place I talk about gaming with a baby, or family friendly game developer events, or possibly humble brag posts ( Oh, I just don't know what to do with myself since my son sleeps through the night now ) - b...

It's possible a week of eating home made Egg McMuffins every day for breakfast is not healthiest way forward, but it was enjoyable. I've mixed it up this week with some slightly mutant ' Breakfast Burrito Bites ' - Mine were tasty, but not as pretty, although I might try a different muffin pan or invest in a silicone one (and when I mean invest, they'll be in Home Bargain / Poundland next time I'm that way) - I almost made them in silicone cup cake cases and decided at the last minuet not to, and since they got stuck on the muffin tin they don't look as pretty as they could do. Anyway, reheated in work's microwave they were super tasty - even if some of the lurid green salsa I brought back from Mexico looked a little unappealing in the morning light. It seems everyone's getting into the make ahead vibe, The Guardian has a  new series of ' get ahead ' articles. I tried a different tact with my shopping this week - not planning quite so much an...

Since meat is expensive, even buying it in small quantities because I'm on my own, I'm trying my hardest to make sure I use any left overs. I had left over beef curry for lunch today, the second chicken breast - this time cooked in a creamy mushroom sauce - for dinner tonight (Monday) ). Tomorrow night (Tuesday) is spaghetti carbonara, Wednesday is a sausage casserole, which will also do for Thursday lunch time. I'll use the left over roast chicken ear marked for a chow mein later in the week. (Thursday) I'll try another pinterest recipe of mini baked omelettes with the chorizo, they'll do for lunch for work and that will also use up some of the eggs. I've got lunch at a friends house on Saturday so if I make something meringue based for pudding that will help on the egg front too. I'll get a new veg box on Wednesday too, and I've surprised myself at getting through the stocks of veg we had in, but that also means another box of eggs because messing w...
