Soup on a nail

I have practically cooked soup on a nail today. Ideas and ingredients running low - add "no time" to that equation and you'll have our situation this afternoon. So dinner and bedtime meal were improvised, big time. And after some nagging (I know, I was supposed to quite that bad habit of mine), the food did serve its purpose and I even made some chocolate ice creams of the smoothie left overs. It's a bit hard to make acceptable smoothies without banans and dates in the house... and I mistakenly poored tamari into the mixer instead of flaxseed oil, did not exactly make the cocktail any more delicious. But as said, it was a success (from earlier blog I can just brief you that a successful smoothie in this house means that one glass makes it down to the tummy of A, and two glasses to G = high acceptability rate).

Another anecdote; why is it that after half an hour nagging, tricking, treating, threatening, when you finally get the kid to eat something, this kid looks at you and tells you: "Mom, you made really delicious food today". I think I will never understand how the brain of my kids work... But I guess that's just the challenge of being a mother! And I also take it that it won't get any easier in the years to come.
