Feeding the teenage beast

The recipe for this simple but effective dish is as follows.

1) Ask half asleep fifteen year old son if he would like breakfast

2) Receive following reply: "I would like a sandwich with vegetarian hot dogs, hash browns - fried in oil, not grilled - and mustard. White bread please. And Lurpack."

3) Make said breakfast

4) Yell upstairs thirteen times "your breakfast is getting cold!"

5) Watch son come downstairs in a state of non-compliance with expected school day dress code, scratching butt and yawning.

6) Watch lukewarm sandwich get eaten.

A book of this and other recipes will be published in several years time under the title "Thank god I don't have to cook that stuff any more".
