I got younger son (12) into trouble in his cookery lesson. He was supposed to take in loads of ingredients to make a dish that none of the family would eat. I put a note in his diary to say that he would be taught how to make mince and tatties that evening instead. He got a bad mark for not taking part in the school lesson!! Now, can anyone explain to me why I should buy ingredients (amounting to over a fiver) to make a meal that we could not and would never eat? As it is, Sam can cook a mean mince and tatties and I know he will never go hungry as with that he can make cottage pie or add various bits and bobs to make a decent pasta sauce. He loves helping me in the kitchen but hates school 'cookery' lessons. |
