Comments:

Well, this was the first day of our revamped afternoon tea.  I was chopping up fruit and realised that they wouldn't both eat it unless it was given to them in separate bowls.  And the divided lunch box had such a lot of appeal for them that I decided to try a couple of divided microwave dish that I had.  It worked!  They ate it all.  Of course, the bribe (bikky and carob buds) made a big difference too.

All the soup and bread was also eaten.  This is one veg soup that is easy to get them to eat.
