Carrots for the Rabbit in the House

"Carrots for the rabbit in the house", that's what I told little one when he asked what was in his lunch box. He gave me that "Oh no, my mum has gone crazy! Wonder what has she been up to?" look. I like it when he does that, feels like the tables have been turned around, my turn to be naughty :) He knows too well that he's my guinea pig. I am thankful that he bears with me most of the time. After all, it's not like I burn food or create disasters to the extent that there's no dinner on the table, just that it can be less tasty, or taste a little funny, look a little ugly...(warning.. potentially understated!)

What's this? I think they look pretty. Potato croquettes shaped to look like carrots. Mashed potatoes with meat and vegetable fillings, coated with breadcrumbs and deep fried.

Verdict?

Sadly, little one didn't like it, he agreed that it looked cute though (some consolation). I beg to differ here, I think they were delicious. Crispy on the outside but soft and buttery inside. The savoury fillings blended well with the potatoes. Hmm, one man's meat is another's poison, i guess...
