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.

Lucky you! I never managed to find good strawberries in any of the supermarkets. They were always stone hard and tasted like tepid water.
