growing, growing and growing…

I am already feeling the need to stretch my budget. Ichiro, albeit drinks less milk compared before have now resorted to snacks. He can finish 3 empanadas in one sitting and would still look for biscuits and juice after. I checked his lunch box if he finished his lunch and to my surprise, the container is very clean. No leftovers. And I’m even strict to having heavy breakfast before going to school. Boys. this is what my sister have been warning me with. Goodluck with the budget I’ve noticed too that we have increased consumption of rice. That only means we are now dealing with big boys. Hehehe. I love it. This is a sign that I really have to be serious about cooking because my critics are now growing.

Jiro on the other hand, refuses to switch milk. I have tried all kinds of amusing explanations to no avail. He even tried suggesting a brand but we ended up going back to his Enfa. Oh well, as long as he is eating rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner I’m already good. Besides, he’s down to just 2-3 big cans per month from the usual 4-5.

Once, my creativity had been tested by my kids. Ichiro likes egg and Jiro wanted hotdog. So to make them both happy, I promised to make a magic egg and magic hotdog. I tag my recipes with magic so it would sound interesting. You know, kids are very curious when it sounds magical and different.:) So what did I do? I made a hotdog omelet. They both got what they want and they liked it. Clever right?

Now Jiro, everytime he sees me would ask magic on everything. He goes like: “Mama, i want my magic milk please.” ; “Mama, I like magic egg please,”; “Mama, magic bread please.” That makes me a now a Mama Magician.
