Courgette success!
Last night I finally got the garklet to eat courgettes without having to use any persausion or bribery. Last week I'd even tried offering him pasta with zucchini sauce (courgettes cooked and them blitzed and mixed with cheese) but the lad refused it, proving himself above his mother's linguistic tricks. Not eating courgettes would not in itself be a problem but I like courgettes and every year we grow 1 courgette plant and invariably have gluts so they form quite a large part of our summertime diet.
However last night we had Slimming World turkey bugers. The recipe had three grated courgettes between four servings and alex was none the wiser. In fact he even wolfed down his burgers remarking how tasty they were. This is a recipe I won't ask the garklet to help with in the future lest he discover what's in it and go off it immediately.
