🍽️ Recipe of the week
Recipe: CREAMY CARROT PASTA
🍝 50g uncooked pasta
🥕 1x medium carrot
🧀 2x big spoons of cream cheese
🧀 1x handful of parmesan
Instructions:
Whilst you cook your pasta, boil your carrots until soft before combining with the remaining ingredients in a food processor with a bit of olive oil. Mix all together once the pasta is ready.

💻 Hack of the week
For any other dads navigating the choppy waters of trick or treating, it’s perhaps more imperative than ever to have a few secure hiding spots the kids are unlikely to find.
We think this hack is the perfect solution for hiding a few of those Haribo packs your kids are about to start collecting from the neighbours.
Dad-tax, right?

⭐ How the stars do it
A few weeks ago we shared the news that LeBron James and his son had become the first ever father and son duo to be named in an NBA squad. Well this week they took to the court for the first time.
Link here.
Upcoming dates that it might be worth having up your sleeve:
Halloween | Thursday 31st October; the great debate - do you have to dress up just to chaperone your kids trick or treating round the neighbourhood?
Movember | Friday 1st November; time for all the Mo Bros out there to prepare your partner for a month of whispy facial hair.
That’s it for this week folks.
Thanks again for reading, as always we leave you with one HILARIOUS joke to share with the family.
I don’t understand why my calculator stopped working.
It just doesn’t add up.
