Day 13/365: Fried Ukrainian flat breads with feta cheese and spring onions, pls try it.

[nanila]

Keiki singing whilst he sits on the kitchen counter rolling out dough with a rolling pin.

Whilst I took Humuhumu to a friend's birthday party (which involved bouncy castles for her and socialising with other mums for me, you get one guess which of us is more tired, aaaaanyway) the bloke and Keiki made Ukrainian flatbreads. Keiki made up a one-line song during the process. You could be forgiven for assuming the song went, "Ohhhhhh I'm rollin' out the dough, rollin' out the dough, rollin' out the dough" or something equally topical. But you would be underestimating Keiki's scatological turn of mind and penchant for death-metal-style screaming. So. This is how the song actually went.

"Poo in the night. Poo in the night! POO in the NIGHT! POO IN THE NIIIIIIIIGHT!"

Because of the photo I misread the title as Fried Keiki Flatbreads. I'm not sure whether those are flatbreads made by Keiki, or Flatbreads made *of* Keiki, to move things in a death metal-ish direction...
He does look like he's having fun, though :)

Ah, this sounds like childhood I can relate to. :D Yay food!

[meepettemu]

Cute :)

[st_aurafina]

Oh my god. That's truly amazing.

[telegramsam]

sounds like the sort of thing my brother would have screamed at that age XD

[cmcmck]

Sounds a bit like the Forlan dish frico, which is yummy!

[paleblinds]

I feel like Keiki and I would get on well.

[lenores_raven]

Sounds like something I would pre-order for my CD collection. :-))

[silveradept]

That's a great picture, and it somehow seems to be more charming, now that I know what's being screamed.

[lurkingcat]

That sounds like a song that all of my nieces would happily have sung along when they were a similar age :)

I'm singing Keiki's song to the tune of "In the Still of the Night" in my head:

[azurelunatic]

This is an amazing song.

omg LOVE
ALL THE LOVE

He had a brilliant time. He loves being on the counter. Cooking optional, tasting always welcome.

[nanila]

We made cupcakes this weekend. There ended up being 16 but there probably would have been more had so much batter not gotten "tasted" in the process...

[nanila]

Aw, thanks. He knows it, too.

[nanila]

I brought some of the flatbread for my lunch today and was sorely tempted to sing the accompaniment to my colleagues whilst I ate it. I resisted.

[nanila]

Some children are really obsessed with bodily functions and think they're hilarious. Humuhumu never was (and doesn't).

[nanila]

Ooh, that does look good. Must try it!

[nanila]

His song gave him lots of enthusiasm for rolling out the dough. It turned out quite well!

[nanila]

I should record it so he can use it when he's a budding teenage musician.

[nanila]

Heh, thanks! Definitely one for the album.

[nanila]

Yep, some children are just inclined to think poo is hilarious. Not all of them, to be fair! But the ones who are: obsessed.

[nanila]

I'm reminded of the time my dad sang "Velcro on my butt/keeps me from slipping/Velcro on my butt/keeps me from sliding" to the tune of Strangers in the Night.

Cannot. Unhear.

[nanila]

It is unexpectedly catchy.

<3 <3 <3

[telegramsam]

Yup, I was always grossed out by my brother's bids to be the Loudest Belcher and Loudest Farter in the World.

(thankfully, he grew out of it....)

[mysterysquid]

Oh, that does sound good.

I can see "Poo in the night" being the feelgood hit of the summer!

[nanila]

They are good. And you can make a big batch of them and keep them in the fridge for your lunches. If you do some with banana and nutella as well, you can have sweet and savoury courses!
