1♠? 
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

If you would like to open hands like these you should use the Tartan/Muiderberg (or whatever they're called in your area) 2M openings showing 5M and 4+m (maybe always 55 vul), treating this hand as a 2-suiter, combined with the Multi 2♦.
Having passed I can see no problem now - you've got an obvious 1♠ response.

Muiderberg does the job pretty well.
Now an easy 1♠

Cripes, another blonde moment, ignore the second part of the question

For what it is worth, a friend of mine likes to play something here of interest rather than fit-jumps. I'm not sold yet, but maybe someone else will be.
The idea is for jumps to show two-suiters. 1♥-P-2♠ would show spades and a minor; 2NT would be minors. 5-5's.
Still not sold on the idea.

You could also use a weak 2 method of showing 5 ♠ and 4+ or 5+ of a minor suit depending on the vulnerability and agressiveness of your system.
With regular partners, I play a weak 2 opening of a major promises exactly 5 cards in the major and 4+ cards in a minor suit. If the minor is a 4 card suit it will be pretty good in honor cards. A 6 card major suit - weak opening, is opened with a 2 ♦ Multi bid.
Good luck,
Theo
