Day 214

I know it's another food one........................but

What better way to make you feel warm and loved on a chilly Saturday arvo than cook your mums shepherd pie. I never realised how much my mum influenced me in my cooking, obvious teaching she might not of, but baking / cooking meals while engaging us in conversations she always did from since I could walk. One day you’re watching her make marshmellow cones for the fete, then helping make gravy and mash the potatoes then your baking muffins and cakes for the kids you work with.

Even as a Grandma she passed on her gift and love through baking muffins and jam drops with her grandchildren. She did it unobtrusively  ..................it’s something I have taken from her, still ring her alot. "MUm Jam drops went flat on the tray, what did I do" "Mumm how do you .........." Lol one thing I do remember is how much I loved the cornflakes and grated cheese on top of the Shepherd’s pie, that definitely has not changed
