We made our usual Sunday Morning Pancakes today for the first time in a couple of months. It was great fun, and I'm almost confident daughter could make them on her own now, despite a terrible attempt during the summer holidays! One great memory from this time together in the kitchen was that I made proper, sticky, sweet caramel from scratch for the first time ever. Previously it's either been burnt or gone rock solid, or both. So, getting it right this time was a triumph. Getting daughter to make it is the next step.

We also cooked a cracking macaroni cheese dish, which should provide at least six meals for about £5.50. It's bloody tasty too!
