Bear went to school with a jam sandwich in his lunchbox. I have agonised over his lunch, tried this and that, he has had pizza and ham sandwiches and pieces of cooked chicken. I have consistently tried to add nutrition. An awful lot of it comes back.
A few weeks ago I mentioned to bear about rationing during WWII and how unlikely things were made like carrot jam. Bear was very taken with this and I was bracing myself for jam making and boiling sugar when I managed to pick up two jars of carrot jam from Approved Food for a comparatively small amount. Bear likes it. He really, really likes it. This enthusiasm probably won't last longer than the jam, in fact I will be surprised if it reaches the bottom of the second jar, but he does actually like it.
So today his lunch box had his drink, his carrot jam sandwich, a jelly with fruit, a satsuma and a packet of wipes because carrot jam is the stickiest thing I have ever given him.
Tomorrow is definitely not a jam sandwich.
