Fine Dining

Dear O'H dear,

Youngest Mini Princess came home from school looking quite despondent.

'We made lentil soup today in Home Ec. It's RUBBISH'

I assured her that it was probably delicious and I couldn't wait to try it. They only make enough for a small bowl so I figured that even it was a bit in the bland side, at least there wouldn't be much to battle through.

I had one mouthful. It wasn't delicious. Really, it wasn't. Or bland. Even in supportive mum mode, I was unable to face consuming any more of the foul potion.

'Erm, what happened?'

'The teacher said to use one or two of the stock cubes so I chucked in two. I didn't realise that she had chopped some into quarters and she meant us to use THEM

Oh, and I accidentally put in the carrot peelings too'

I suspect my blood pressure may have doubled and I am unlikely to pee for about a week.
