After consuming a bowl of porridge with cinnamon, honey & sultanas miss S helped me hang out the washing, watered my herbs (photos to come!) and do a quick clean up before my Mama came to take us to the organic fruit and vegetable markets.
I threw her onto my back in my 3.5 Vatanai wrap, in a ruck tied under the bum and off we went! I managed to get her up quite high so she was enjoying peering over my shoulder at the hustle of the markets. Was quite busy this morning, we saw 4 other babywearers and only 2 prams which was a nice change.
We grabbed some beautiful lettuce, baby spinach, apples, mandarins, sunflower sprouts, shallots, bananas and green beans and headed home. I really like supporting local farmers, it's another one of those things I do for the "good" of the environment, god knows it needs nurturting in its current state.
Scarlett is such a cack.. she enjoyed a lady finger so much on the way home that when my mama and I were chatting she snuck up to the dining table, grabbed a banana, took a hunk out of it (with the skin on) and then proceeded to keep chewing til I found her and helped her peel it. Bananas = lollies to my little miss, it was so adorable.
Her appetite is truly extraordinary though. For example, this morning alone, all before 10am she had consumed:
- 1 Large bowl of porridge with milk, honey, cinnamon and sultanas
- 1 large piece of wholemeal toast with a smidge of peanut butter
- 2 organic lady finger bananas
- 1 large bowl of organic biodynamic yogurt with stewed peach
- 3 prunes
- 1 handful of wheat rounds
Anyway, I followed a recipe by Crazy Mumma for Cheat's Spanikopita (Spinach & Ricotta pie) and I've just taken it out of the oven. Looks really good, I chopped up some of my own basil and parsely *proud* and made the pastry into sort of envelopes. Review to follow! I made her Lemon Cheesecake yesterday which was easy and divine so I am sure I won't be disappointed.
