About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

"bacon" sandwiches

Turkey rashers are a really good substitute for bacon in cooking but need careful handling if they are to be used in sandwiches as they can be very dry. Do not be tempted to grill them this will remove every scrap of moisture. Instead fry them with a little oil from a mister. They literally need a minute or two on each side. Then add more moisture with mushrooms, sliced tomato or for 1/2 pt ketchup or brown sauce.

The ketcup versus brown sauce debate has been running for ages and my solution? Have waterever you fancy, I like both.
