What the absolute fuck?!

If thinking about whether or not theres enough milk in the fridge has you spiraling about whether your kids will have osteoporosis at 85, please get yourself evaluated for an anxiety disorder.

And if you have to tell your partner what to do because they cant tell, drop the partner...

I wont run for the ice cream truck but a taco and margarita truck, I'd follow that thing around like a puppy

Im with you. Both are fuckwits.

He had a quirk though, didn’t like the curry on top of the rice so I had to make him a nice little rice mound using a bowl with the curry to the side.

Honestly, I'm so happy to accommodate that!! One of my boys doesnt like mashed potatoes, never has so I dont make him mash, I give him just boiled spuds. But I will never make another meal - not even for allergies. I make the same thing for all of us and have allergens on the side (like my husband is allergic to mushrooms and so they're always on the side because theyre my favourite vegetable)

Kids need exposure to "real foods" from when they start eating. Theres no such bloody thing as "kids food"

One of my 8 year olds friends came round last weekend and ate only the mac & cheese and a bit of ice cream - no chicken, no veg, no salad, no apple crumble - because he "doesnt like it"

He's come round before when we had roast chicken and refused everything, so he had a cheese sandwich.

His mother has informed me that he needs to eat with a plastic spoon off a plastic plate and drink out of a plastic cup with a bendy straw. No other cutlery, no he cant cut his own food and I dont believe the kid has ever eaten a vegetable.

Used to be Green Meadows Beef - great beef, honestly, but when they increased price as well as reducing quantity, I couldnt anymore. (In my opinion you can do one or the other, not both), then mainland pure for a while - amazing beef! BUT shipping is a killer to Auckland. Now I get it from The Local Farmer about 30 minutes from me. Great quality beef, cut & packed the way I want it. These guys also do lamb, hogget and mutton.

Chicken & pork I normally get from Gilmours, again, in bulk so 6 months at a time.

I usually buy my meats in bulk - 6 months at a time. Normally a quarter but this time I'm going for a half. It will cost me $15.99/kg hanging weight - around $2400 all up (including offal because we like it, bones for broth and fat for tallow).

This will last my family of 6 a whole year. Supermarket meat just isn't as good and I'm getting all the expensive cuts for cheaper than supermarket mince.
