Too distracted by the Academy Awards to check whether there was food for dinner.
There wasn’t. Whoops.
Thank god for the freezer.
I found a bag of diced frozen vegetables (carrots, peas, corn & beans) and a fillet of barramundi.
Steamed them in the microwave. Separately.
4 mins for about one and a half cups vegetables and three mins for fish.
Blitzed two thirds of the vegetables with a third of the fish. Added a knob of butter, a generous pinch of (ready) grated cheddar and blitzed again. Stirred through a cube of frozen apple puree to cool it down . This was a very last minute supper after all.
But did they eat it?
Lexi T. could not get enough. She is a piggy, it can’t be denied, but her appetite for this was voracious. She cried every time I took the spoon away.
Zach ate the remaining un-blitzed veg and fish. No sauce or salt or anything. Let’s not pretend that this was an inspired supper, but the promise of half a Curly Wurly ensured the plate was left clean.
Bird, who has been poorly (flu? man flu? whatever) was presented with his favourite comfort supper: fish fingers, chips and peas and was very happy.
And the washing up was but one steamer and one baking tray.
Love thy freezer.
