Preparation is crucial - I am sure someone very informed said that recently (like in yesterday's post [hee hee]) and this has been mine:
Started this morning at about 8.30am - first, made some more yoghurt, put on the soup (my butchering skills are woeful - that poor chicken!) but I did add some parsley from the garden in a little cotton sachet quickly run up on my sewing machine - means I don't have to pick it all out later, peeled more carrots and put them on to stew and made the meat patties - look
All done by about 9.10am - I cooked the patties, tidied the kitchen and am now posting this and it's only 10.30 - not too bad at all.
Here my little pattie pyramid - wrapped them in pairs in wax paper (couldn't be bother with that flimsy, futtery cling wrap stuff) ready for the freezer.
So soup and carrots left to cook for a few hours and I'm leaving the gelatin thingy until Sunday night so it is fresh.. guess that's me all ready for the intro ;-)
Job done!
I have even gone further than that and got a few little things ready for when I can introduce more foods. I picked the remaining apples off our apple tree before they spoiled, peeled them and stewed them down with a little bit of honey (they are a bit tart whatever type they are) - there weren't that many left as No.1 little bear is quite partial to them....
But I still got a nice little pot of apple sauce...which I then put into an ice cube tray
This also, just like farm visit, reminded me of when the little bears were only baby bears - this is how I would have prepared a bulk amount of weaning food for my little uns. But it is so convenient - froze for a while, then popped them out and into freezer bags...
I can see me lifting a couple of these out the night before to add to a bowl of yoghurt for breakfast. I also did the same with those very ripe bananas from the farm - didn't know you can freeze banana but apparently you can - they were so ripe they were on sale so thought I might as well.
It's starting to feel more real....
