My special place

We have a few cafes in town but there is one that has the most yummy muffins and biscuits @Eve7 I've tried all the different flavours!! Keep coming back to the chocolate muffin and iced coffee.

Well hopefully gd1 can help out hon. Maybe repay her by buying her lunch!

My mum has started telling me who gets what when she passes (her and my dads things). I think with the dementia she wants to do it before she forgets.

Not much on over the weekend, but that might be nice.

I hope your sporting commitment goes well.

It must be hard for your mum @Snowie I hope I don’t get it.

About to order fish n chips. What are you having?

I can understand she wants to do all these things before she cannot remember @Eve7

I guess I just have to support her.

Fish n chips is normally either Friday or Saturday night dinner here if the kids are home.

Both kids at work so just H and I home. We just had toasted sandwiches!!

That sounds like a good option @Snowie Your h is easy to pleasei.

Quick and easy to make and not many dishes @Eve7!!

I'm lucky, all of them will eat practically anything I put in front of them.

Onto coffee now. S doesn't finish work till 10 so have to stay awake.

Do you like cooking?

I do like cooking @Snowie I do big family dinners and desserts. I’m not good at cake decorating though and I miss have h to do the bbq.

Hows your neighbour going? I remember you made some meals for his wife.

I'm sure your family love those big dinners and desserts @Eve7

I remember as a kid my grandma used to make great cakes! It's those things that you remember.

I love trying new recipes. I know it's good if they ask if I can cook it again!!

Just tried a chicken curry in the slow cooker.

He is going ok. He is still in the rehab hospital. Making progress just slowly. Walking a lot better now with his walker. H and a few others are redoing his bathroom for him. This way he can have a walk in shower and a higher toilet to make it easier for him to use. They have gotten some rails put in where there are steps too so it makes it easier and safer for him.

Made his wife another lot of meals the other day.

You’re a good neighbour @Snowie

I like trying new recipes too and I often get them from Facebook. I recently made fasolakia in the slow cooker and it was Yummo. I enjoy winter food from the slow cooker and lots of vegetable soups.

I get some of facebook too @Eve7 There are some slow cooker groups that I follow.

I love my slow cooker too, especially in winter. I've never made fasolakia, will have to try it.

I have a vegetable soup recipe that I make. My Nan used to make it. Would go visit her and you could smell it as soon as you entered the house. My mum used to make it all the time too.

I love recipes that have been passed down.

I figure she (my neighbour) would do the same for me.

All I remember my Nan cooking was her tomato soup with home grown tomatoes @Snowie I don’t have her recipe but when I make it I think of her.

I make some of my mum’s recipes. She always baked afternoon tea for us and my friends used to love coming over after school. I failed in that department as I always worked.
