3YO DD really impressed me this morning… I was preparing her lunch box for playgroup, & showed her the tomatoes, cucumber & kidney beans I was mixing to put in some pitta bread. ‘Looks lovely’ she said (good girl). Then I told her I was adding olive oil so it wasn’t too dry. ‘But you won’t need it’ she said immediately, the tomatoes are juicy so it won’t be dry’.
An utterly banal domestic moment (like the rest of this blog is so earth shattering…!) but I thought that really showed she was thinking about the food & the tastes & textures. I added the olive oil anyway, when she wasn’t looking, plus a bit of black pepper… it was pretty good.
And whilst I’m *thrilling* your day with the minutiae of my mine… when she came back, she looked at me rather coyly & said, ‘Mum? Shall we have just a cheeky little piece of chocolate?’
Oh go on then.
