    I love Aubergine and adding anything to it, is always a win. Aubergine with kisir, spicy chickpeas and zataar yoghurt is absolutely yummy. It is a relatively healthy meal and is both filling and tasty.

    Just look at that aubergine. I wish more restaurants would serve aubergine. Maybe I should start a campaign? Ok maybe not.

    Talking of restaurants, yesterday me and the husband went out without the kids. You have to understand how unusual that is to know what a big deal it is. Like many parents, we are always with our little tots. I mean in 5 years I can count on one hand, how often we have been out without the kids. We had a lovely evening at a new place in town by the name of Lemon Pepper.

    Don't get me wrong, i love taking my kids out. I love taking them with me wherever I go. I mean how many years will it be like this before they want to be with their mates instead? Oh gosh, I'm gonna cry. :'(  I absolutely love their company. They are so funny but once in a while, i need to sit with the husband and because of his hours we are often like passing ships in the night. He wakes up at 4am for work during the week and therefore is shattered by the time the kids are asleep and from friday afternoon to sunday afternoon, I literally see him for about an hour. So yeah, that meal was long overdue and we had a great time.

    In other news, my son now climbs the walls as well as on everything else. Me and him used to watch ninja warrior together. We only managed 3 episodes. He always turned it into a contest - girls against boys. The boys did better. Boooooo.

    So anyway, now he sees everything as an obstacle course and climbs heights that scare the life out of me and fill me with pride at the same time. To be honest, I always wanted active kids. After all, kids learn a lot through play. I will be doing a post about that pretty soon where I will expand upon my thoughts about kids play/education etc.

    Here is that recipe. Do let me know if you try it. More and more of you have been getting in contact with us to let us know when you have tried something and we really, really appreciate it. 🙂
