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.

Instant Flavour

I love parmesan and as a little goes a long way I can indulge my cravings quite often. It is easy to go overboard when grating stright onto a streaming dish of pasta so I always weigh mine first. I have found that 5g of parmesan is enough to add flavour to a salad or dressing and in only 0.5 points. For a huge bowl of pasta or ratatouille I sometimes have a points worth (10g) well worth it in my opinion, but ONLY fresh parmesan will do for me I hate the stuff in tubs.
