Normal people might have a nice lasagne in their oven, or perhaps, given the weather at the moment, a warm winter stew.Not us. Not in our house.
Today, my husband spent some time with H&L's class in school. They've been learning all about trolls since they started school, and have been on a number of troll-related adventures.
They've been reading "The Troll" by Julia Donaldson & David Roberts.
Their latest adventure, today, was cooking. My husband's part was making troll bread with the children.
As he prepared and packed his equipment this morning, and practised eating fish (erm, cucumber) from the dirty river water (water and food colouring), it was clear he was looking forward to the session. I thought it was the children who were supposed to be more excited about these things?!
So anyway, no lasagne in our oven today, but instead a lovely loaf of troll bread. Made, as all good troll bread is, from squashed flies, crushed goats bones, frogs eyes and other delights....
Brilliant - is he available for hire?
ReplyDeleteMy reply is sooo predictable, but...never mind hiring him out, I've been trying to give him away for years & have had no takers yet!!!
DeleteHello! thank you for liking my page, I've liked yours back.That Troll bread looks brilliant! We love that book too as it has pirates in it and we're big pirate fans.
ReplyDeleteThanks Aly! It's a great book isn't it... mine are really into their trolls at the moment... no surprise really, given anything messy / muddy / yucky grabs their attention!
DeleteLove it! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteTee hee, thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThis is fantastic! I bet he helped those children make some forever-memories :)
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, it's a lovely thought to think that he might've done. I'm v proud of him!
