Tonight I have my 12 year old grand-daughter with me for the weekend and this morning, I took some prepared liver and bacon casserole out of the freezer to derfrost for our dinner. I made this when she was with me a few weeks ago and asked her to write on the lid of the freezer tray so that I would know what it contained. Every time I get something out of the freezer that she has labelled, I have to smile and the casserole is no exception. She had decorated the top with a selection of smiley faces and non-smiley faces and once again has claimed the credit for making the dish!
This is something she does every time we make a dish and have some left over to freeze. Occasionally if I'm on my own and I take a dish out to derfrost I have a chuckle, especially if she puts a description such as: Lasagne , made by Eden and is deeeelicious! Another thing I have found written on the top is 'love from Eden'! or 'Enjoy this Grandma'!
The shopping list that I keep in the kitchen is another source of surprise because as soon as I have used something up, I write it on the list for the next big shop. Last time she was here, I used up the last of the cocktail cherries in a fruit trifle so asked her to write 'cherries' on the list. When I got to Tesco last weekend I was rather surprised to find that I needed 'cheeries' instead.
We enjoy cooking together and I look forward to reading the little messages she leaves on the foil trays in the freezer as well as the illustrations and I never know what I will be hunting for in Tesco!
