No more chocolate
Sep. 19th, 2006 07:18 pmI've just eaten the last bit. I think it makes Emer cranky and pukey, so I'm cutting it out for a week. Tomorrow will be Day One of No Chocolate. After that I'll know whether I can have it in moderation or maximation. If I have as many kids as I hope to, I'll end up with a shortlist of foods that reads "gluten free pasta; vegan vitamin pills" and that will be it. Yeesh.
Still, it gives us more motivation to cook high-sugar high-calorie snackfoods. Banana cake is on the list again, this time with either self-raising flour or adequate baking powder. If it works, I shall post the recipe again.
Need more homemade cake recipes. Cakes which can be eaten in one hand as one jiggles around the room singing "Jumping up and down on the big [colour] tractor" to the toddler, patting the baby on the bum between bites. No dairy, no soy, preferably "Method: Put in magimix and whirr. Transfer to loaf tin. Put in oven and bake." Anything more complicated than that is beyond us at present.
Tomorrow we're having roast chicken for dinner. "Put in oven and bake. Dismember. Snarf."

Date: 2006-09-19 06:42 pm (UTC)Rob and I have agreed that it would be nice to have finished with nappies in 10 years. So that sets a bit of a limit on it, since we've also agreed not to have another in 2007. (In fact, I intend to discuss long-term contraception with a doctor soon, because if I get the birth injuries from 2004 sorted out we're liable to get all whimsical about making more babies - Emer took planning and painkillers).
And we're not planning much ahead, either; one pregnancy at a time.
