Ireland is having some record breaking weather at the moment, and most of us are loving it! (DH is a bit reluctant to do without his socks just yet but he will!)
D is pottering around in a nappy a lot of the time, and his little belly makes a great little trap for dropped food, it clings there quite nicely 'til he's ready for it!
Meal choices are difficult in this weather. I think it is hidden somewhere deep in Irish DNA that dinner must be a substantial, heavy meal. Apart from salad I'm having trouble coming up with alternatives. It doesn't help that D's appetite is dropping as the mercury rises.
We've been having plenty of chicken, green salad, pasta and rice salads. Maybe fish might be nice tomorrow. I wouldn't worry too much about myself or DH, but I'm very conscious of the need to provide balanced nutrition for D. It's funny how your way of thinking changes when you're providing fuel for a child! I love that about BLW though, it slows me down and makes me think about what I need from food and the best way to get it. As a result, although I'm a lot more wobbly, I'm 9lbs lighter than I was when I got pregnant! And that's even with the fact that the ice cream man stops right outside my house and has been doing a very brisk trade lately!
Enjoy the sunshine everybody, it's never here for very long!
Oh, and if anyone has any good hot weather recipes, pop them in the comments section will you? Thanks!
