Over lunch today Bjørn asked us out of the blue if he could make an entire meal for us All By Himself. Of course!
We had a long discussion about what he could make, where we would need to get the ingredients, what he would need, planning the drinks to accompany each dish... The hardest part was managing Maggie's desire to take over the project without curbing her enthusiasm. She'll get to make her own meal soon, this one will be all his.
While we discussed the ins and outs of meal planning, Tomas doodled [see above].
Bjørn settled on Ratatouille (no doubt inspired by the movie) as the main dish. He has a very clear idea of how it will be served: piled in the center of the dish, with a circle of yogurt sauce (Tzatziki?) around it, followed by a ring of grated zucchini.
For desert he would like to make fruit salad with mango lassis.
This sounds like a perfect summer meal to me, we'll head for the vegetable stand on Monday morning!
Too cute! What a great mum you are. I also love the picture of Bjorn cooking. But, I have one question please, how do you get the o in Bjorn with a line through it? Am I a total blog idiot?? I just don't get it?
I read you daily and am always inspired:)

Thank you so much for the kind comment :-)
I'm on a Mac. To make the ø I just hold down the Option key and o at the same time. Hope that helps!
