Kitchen duty, Day 3

[wiseheart]

I've finished and boxed everything; Elise can come and fetch her cookies any time she can. Our batches are boxed, too, although we sampled them to our afternoon coffee; just to check the quality, of course. ;)) I also made the cheesy scones, which we promptly had for lunch, since they are the best when they come fresh from the oven. That means two cooking-free days for me, as we still have a big heap of Shepherd's Pie in the fridge.

We also had laundry day, like every Saturday, and I took Mum out to the playground next to our building, where she amused herself with watching the toddlers while I hopped over to Lidl for a bit of shopping. After that, I discovered a woman selling local strawberries near the supermarket. They were quite price-y, but huge, ripe, and actually tasted like strawberries, so I bought half a kilo for twice the price they would have cost at Lidl. Mum judged that they were well worth the price, so I might do it again, should the woman still be there.

I've also done some preparations for tomorrow's (half)-cleaning frenzy that will include the bath, the loo, the kitchen, the anteroom and the balcony. Gah, I so hate cleaning! But it must be, especially after having liberally coated the kitchen in floor, icing sugar and other baking ingredients for three days in a row.

We had the best strawberries from Aldi on Monday. Mum bought some at a farmer's yesterday and they weren't that good!

Of course.

Sounds like great strawberries.

Warm cheese scones are the absolute best! Perfect strawberries are worth every penny. I've stopped buying supermarket ones, because they're only fit for jam and cost too much to waste like that.

No more strawberries from Aldi at the moment. Waiting for the Bavarian ones, which are late but tasty.
