I was a bit of a domestic wonder today. That Deceptively Delicious cookbook requires a bunch of purees so I made 2 cups spinach puree, 5 cups pumpkin puree and 1/2 cup red pepper puree to go with the chickpeas and cauliflower puree I'd made on Friday.

We've been struggling with the Doob's eating for a while now and I got so fed up and frustrated that I posted a query to the positive dicipline list on yahoo that I belong to.

I did nothing today. Not even make the bed. I did shower, and epilady 1/2 a leg. I cooked a delightfull Indian lunch (dal makhani, paneer in curry sauce, samosas and sauteed beet greens) as well as a surprisingly good dinner (over-stuffed vegetarian peppers.) I watched Tristan and Isolde on HBO and wasn't all that impressed. I read a few books to ( Read more... )
