I know what those cost, I refuse to ask her if she has a kitchenaid mixer. Those have been lust objects for me for decades. So, to restore my equilibrium I went into my under resourced kitchen and made myself a peach cobbler for my tea. With homegrown peaches. And blueberries from the freezer.
That'll learn her.
Clever daughter.
I'm sort of the opposite; really fed up with cooking & baking these days unless the mood takes me which is fairly rare. I think its just having had to do it for so long.
Nowadays its usually anything easy.

Mum of 3 and granny to 21 month old Lucas. Avid knitter and keen gardener although that is on the backburner while i await my FSA for a knee replacement, 435 days I have been waiting and when i was talking to the hospital last month they were booking appointments to those who had been on the list 525 days so maybe by the end of the year I might be seen. Then goodness knows how long I will be on the surgical waiting list. However we battle on.
Greetings Kazza, always good to have more newbies.
Isn't being a Gran just the best thing - DIL knows now what I meant when I told her that, they've got two grandkids now & are utterly besotted with them.
I'd like to believe that whoever's next in govt might actually fix our messed up health system, rather than attempting to move towards a privatised health system.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
