week 39: travel & hospital & recovery

quite the agitated week and we are now enjoying a quiet weekend at home.

it started off with mamajon travelling to brussels for 2 days. jon and papajon had fun making calzones for the lunchbox which got a lot of praise at kindergarten jon had a surgery scheduled for friday, which had both his parents more anxious than necessary (but how can one ask a parent to be relaxed when their precious little one is going to have full anesthesia and go under the knife?) but it all went quite well and we were in hospital for a total of 6 hours: from 9am to 3pm. he has been running about the house today as though nothing happened, full of energy.

monday

box 1: pumpkin soup (pumpkin, potatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil and fresh parsley) box 2: lettuce, tomato, cucumber and greek yoghurt box 3: cornbread, from annie’s recipe blog (jon and papajon have now requested cornbread on a weekly basis) box 4: cucumber

tuesday

calzones made by jon and his papa (mamajon was in brussels… missing all action back home)

wednesday

no pictures taken of wednesday’s lunchbox either, but papajon assures me jon did not starve!

thursday

box 1: yellow peppers and tomatoes box 2: tangerine box 3: sunflower bun/roll with philadelphia cream cheese, red pesto and cucumber slices box 4: boiled egg comment: notice the colour of the boxes?? different from our usual ones… well, while in brussels, mamajon got invited over for dinner, and the hostess gabriella had a laptop lunchbox lying around that she was no longer using and donated it to jon. grazie gabi!

friday

hospital food consumed.

week 38: cooking together

jon is helping a great deal in the kitchen. he helped mamajon make the pumpkin pie and papajon in making the lasagna. he also layed his toppings on top of pita bread to make some mini-pizzas. we have a great time together and jon enjoys being/feeling helpful around the kitchen.

we watched fast food nation last weekend (jon was already sleeping), and we were completely grossed out. the docu-film reinforced our commitment to homemade food. at least i know what i am eating…

monday

box 1: vegetarian lasagna made with fresh pasta sheets box 2: cucumber box 3: pumpkin pie (made with freshly cut pumpkin – we would not be able to find canned pumpkin in denmark anyways…) box 4: red peppers

tuesday

mamajon had to attend a meeting in brussels and was not able to take a picture of jon’s lunchbox. papajon put vegetable toppings with cheese on top of pita breads and created mini-pizzas

wednesday
