As soon as I am Truly Hungry, every single unmatched bit of provender becomes mouth-wateringly appealing! True fact. :)Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-58458704429116146812014-08-07T06:25:46.064+01:002014-08-07T06:25:46.064+01:00I find the more I put off shopping, the more inven...I find the more I put off shopping, the more inventive my meals are!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848235885628916653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-35016667178740638022014-08-06T23:06:17.369+01:002014-08-06T23:06:17.369+01:00Teenagers are fine here, it's the grown man th...Teenagers are fine here, it's the grown man that is the problem - fussy beyond belief and panicking if the fridge isn't full (I think it must be animal instincts). I would happily go to the shops as and when we need things but having a family I need to keep everything replenished. We throw very little away and I am a demon at using up and frugal cookery. I am like you, I can eat pretty much anything as long as it gives me fuel. I think it is my childhood where we ate everything on our plate (because we were hungry), cooking for pleasure never really came in to it. We weren't foodies, my mum was just pleased if her family had full tummies at the end of the day. She didn't stress over nutrition - filling up was the only thing that concerned her. Anyway, your meals always look lovely, so colourful.

What happens, however, is that we get invited out or just decide to go out to grab a bite, then I have stuff left over at the end of the week. Retirement changes things a bit!Linda Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237332954767037400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-64976106701802685072014-08-06T21:41:34.107+01:002014-08-06T21:41:34.107+01:00ha I have two teens, and they are pretty good abou...ha I have two teens, and they are pretty good about eating whatever I cook. They aren't too picky, and I am thankful. My boy goes through spells though where I can't fill him up, so I'm guessing a growth spurt. <br />Thanks for posting your meals; they help give me some ideas.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710629007170091862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-22401613913788798082014-08-06T20:40:02.247+01:002014-08-06T20:40:02.247+01:00When my kids were growing up (1970s/80s) my stock ...When my kids were growing up (1970s/80s) my stock response to fussy eaters was "I'm not running a restaurant.

It was the same in our house - eat what you're given. Same in my husband's too, fortunately, so there are no complaints from him!CharlottePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693808113369554138noreply@blogger.com
