It wasn’t until we arrived on Mother’s Day that I realised that the manager wasn’t just having a bad day the week before. No, it was more likely that she subscribed to the Basil Fawlty school of customer service.
I’ve been enjoying some shopping from home, browsing some of my favourite shopping sites. Here are a few ideas for the special cook in your life.
A simple chocolate cake can fill a little heart full to bursting, and spill over into the hearts of all who can see.
A brand-spanking new copy of Entertain! landed in my letterbox the other day, and I’ve been feeling increasingly hungry ever since. Every time I pick it up my tummy growls.
I didn’t gain a whole heap of weight when I was pregnant with Lil; about 12kgs all up. Anyway I dropped the weight pretty quickly, but since then, well let’s just say that I’ve had to buy some new jeans. I blame kid calories.
However, while our ability to pay the bills might be a significant factor in deciding how much maternity leave to take, it isn’t the only factor.
My dilemma is that if I cook to make Lil happy, I cook the same thing every night. If I force some variety into the mix, she won’t eat, and dinner ends up a stressful test of patience.
