    I love these videos as I always learn something. It is unbelievable the amount of food kids, especially boys can consume.
    My son is 12, 5ft 7 and 9.8 stone. He is a powerhouse and 5inches taller than me.
    He desperately needs open heart surgery to replace 2 severely leaking valves, but the hospital are using drugs to help his now damaged heart. They won't operate because of the massive growth spurt. They would be lucky to get 2 years out of the valves before he needs open heart surgery.
    Point is I can't fill him. He eats more than his dad who is 5'8" and as much as my 5 '11" body building partner.
    The bulk of my food bill is on food for Zachri, and like most men he is a grump when hungry. So I empathise fully with you. X

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  Před 2 měsíci +3

      Argh, that's hard, waiting, but it makes sense, and I suppose leads to less chance of repeat surgery down the road!
      The kids definitely eat large swathes of the food bought and I find myself spending hours in the kitchen just to keep them filled up lol!

    Happy birthday Nyssa! Spring rolls look so good. Made my own egg roll wrappers. Once. And only once. 🤪 Life is too short so store bought wrappers are the way to go. Balances out as most other food is homemade. Tandoori chicken thighs are marinading to be done on the BBQ for dinner.

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  Před 2 měsíci +1

      hehe, yeah, I tried the whole painting on the pan thing and yeah... but I did see recently another method where you roll it out more like a dough and you stack and roll a pile of them, cook one off, peel it flip it and cook the next kinda thing, it looked much simpler! but we'll see if I get around to trying it or not lol.

Its more economical than the tins. They have the red, green, yellow, panang and masaman. I cant figure out how to add a photo but if you are interested, you could probably find it online 😃

    Morning Nyssa, im starting to get curious about the Ninja creamy. Ide love to try coconut cream with pineapple and lime. Like a pine lime splits iceblock ☺️
    Love the spring rolls, i have some packs of rice paper rolls to use up and wonder if they would work for the spring roll wrapper as the kids didn’t like the chewy texture.
    Have a lovely Sunday ❤️

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  Před 2 měsíci +2

      I am going to get some pineapple when I do the shop! I have some on the shelf that I canned for pizza but its in smallish jars for pizza and I prob only have enough for pizzas until they come into season again lol, so I might grab a couple of tins to try, it definitely sounds like a winner! I did some plums and some apple pie filling ones the other night, the kids loved the plums!
      Yes, rice paper rolls are interchangeable, and they crisp up quite well in the pan too! I find them a little fiddlier to roll though hehe :D

    When we make okonomiyaki, we use cabbage and all the other stuff but if I'm looking to up the protein, I add canned tuna if I have it. Tastes great and we both like it.
    A suggestion for your curry - there is a curry powder that I absolutely adore called Javan. I also use a curry paste when I make it but if it's lacking, a little (or a lot) of the Javan powder can make all the difference to me.

    • @OurSmallFootprint

      @annfromma8456 Před 2 měsíci +2

      ​​@@OurSmallFootprintBonito flakes are a common topping so I figured, tuna is tuna. Just make sure to drain it really well and don't put too much, it can affect the flavor. But when my hubby was alive, he liked it and he'd been eating okonomiyaki his whole life. I just experimented and it worked.
