Rhyming is big at VSHQ at the moment. Splat the flat rat yo brat attack. Good times, great rhymes etc etc. You get the idea, it feels as though I’ve emerged from the top of the Faraway Tree into rhyming couplet-land. There is no “let’s watch The Voice”, straightforward-style chat, more “It’s a great choice, to watch the Voice” type banter.
I suspect it comes with the extra time that school holidays bring. You know, there’s time to ponder such frivolous things and plan your next sentence. AS IF we have time to built poetry into our day during term time.
To help you navigate the upcoming chaos with ease and if you have a day spare (ie, in NSW, one of the two student-free days), why don’t you whip up some batches of these recipes. Pop them in your freezer, defrost whenever you need an easy dinner or a lunchbox treat and you’ll be so organised throughout Term 2 that you’ll have time, for rhymes so fine that kids divine will eat, not whine.
Word.
All the best for Term 2.

Yes, back to school and back to trying to be organised. The veggie mash looks great and it’s one I’ll definitely be able to get my kids to eat. Love that you can freeze this into individual portions for those times when after school activities require something quick and easy.

It’s good too, for my daughter who loves mash, but my son hates it – I bake a potato for him and microwave a portion of this for her.

They’re lamb sausage rolls. Click the pic and you’ll go to the recipe. Then you CAN have one.
