I am touched that the mouse was saved and taken far away. A most necessary life-saving trip indeed!

It's funny but Vicki has been asking me lately how to make certain favourite dishes I would make during her childhood. Like everybody else, he can't go out to eat or meet friends or come over here even tp eat with us so I think she is remembering certain comfort foods.

I see the cat...what good camouflage! But he has no good intentions!

I have a "gone back to nature" corner in the back area of teh garden. OK...it is a jungle area. LOL

I hope the mouse appreciates his new surroundings!

Is Vicki wanting the recipes for complicated things or did you also sometimes make things with a packet of this and a packet of that? And are they things she wants to make for herself?

You can see why we have named him EvilCat.

I wanted to clear that corner and put 'proper' things in there - but I thought a couple of days ago that really, it is so shaded that it would be much better to let it be as it is and hope it is useful to the wildlife.

Vicki loves cooking so she wants both complicated dishes and the packet of this, packet of that kind also. Yes, she makes them for herself and has taken to freezing portions for leftovers. Since she is still working all day she cooks on weekends for now. Like so many of us, since she can't go out with friends on weekends these days, she is cooking more then. And baking. She loves to make cakes!

I'm not sure if D-d is baking at the moment - she also loves it but there is always the urge to eat it! Although as they are all at home at the moment she would have volunteers to do that for her. She has at least one fellow baker in the house though - NYK1 loves to bake - he made her a rather smart two tiered birthday cake :)

But it is interesting which things remind these daughters of their childhoods.

The one recipe Vicki asked me for that made me laugh was one she hated as a child but loves as an adult...my lentil stew!

Ah... gone are the days when you could just buy lentils... around here anyway :)

Although I only use them to make soup, or to pad out stew where something else is the main ingredient. One day I must make a lentil stew.
