English Food

We finally started to eat some homemade English food. I had been getting some reheatable sausage roll things, but those weren't authentic English food. So the other night my mom made Cottage pie. I thought it was good and I seemed to be the only kid who did. The cottage pie had beef and carrots on the bottom and mashed potatoes on top. Grayson kept complaining because he says he doesn't eat beef (but he ordered a burger at a pub a few weeks ago) . And Jackson continued throughout the meal to make fake vomiting sounds because he didn't like the pie. Maddie just kept picking at her food with her fork. But finally when Jack heard he could get a cookie if he ate all his food; he asked mom how many bites he needed to have and ate them (but he was still complaining).

Also this morning Maddie, Jack and I had eggs and soldiers. Grayson was upstairs sleeping as usual so he didn't get any. The eggs were good as usual. And my mom said that they were British too. So my mom said that I should blog about it. And since I haven't blogged once, I decided that I would.

Bass and I are wondering what "soldiers" are?
Also want to say hi. We are enjoying your blog.

Soldiers are narrow strips of toast! Just cut your toast in 4 and they are ready to dip in your soft boiled egg.

I think this is a term that the kids picked up from their Auntie Barb. Being a Canadian, I'm not sure where she got such a militaristic metaphor! ;-)

Hey Colby, Great to hear from you. You really recaptured a Smith family meal- with the puking noises and all. I heard you stayed up late last night watching the super bowl- did you make it to school this morning? Looks like you guys are having a great time in the U.K. We miss you- Love ya! Dawn
