Hestia and...the Knave of Hearts

So, the Knave of Hearts, he made some tarts, all on a summer's day*.  The Queen of Hearts, she stole some tarts and will be jogging for an eternity to work them off.....



Well, on 1 May - not QUITE a summer's day. The Littlies all went up to the secondary school to start their familiarisation process for Going Up proper in August.  Sonshine's group got Home Ec and he arrived home with LOTS of little jam biscuits.

I may be expected to hand over my glowing red Kitchenaid as some sort gesture of fealty to his new skills.

No chance.

But he will be compelled to bake on a more regular basis now.

Bang goes Getting Fit For Fifty :-)

Hope you're all having a lovely day and not suffering any of these dreadful floods!

    1. I think you'll find he's just SMUG lol! Seriously, he is a happy chappie most of the time. Wondering how the teenage years will change him *sigh*

    1. NS - I have informed Tartarus that we are going for weekend break down to your neck of the woods and we will be coming for something to eat. I'll BOOK of course :-D Won't be for a few weeks yet though!

      We'd BETTER have a decent summer this year. Two days at the end of May is NOT going to cut the mustard with me. Not again.

  4. Good lad - he IS handsome, as Northern Snippet says. I reckon Clean Amy might be won over with a top notch jam tart - he should keep practicing LOL! No floods here, thank heavens, but in an almighty strop as Badminton Horse Trials has been cancelled this weekend. Will have to stay at home and kick things :(

    1. Was it cancelled because of the weather then Mrs E? What a shame. Don't stay home and kick things! Get out there and find something wunnerful to do (or sew!)

  5. Goodness, moving into the High School, doesn't time fly. The next step is to ask him to make a roast dinner, then do the washing up.

    And give him plenty of cuddles, because they stop wanting them quite soon.

  7. With that sort of talent, he could win over many hearts and not just jammy ones.

  8. Yes, my DS loves doing the cooking lessons and he makes a lovely meringue (they don't tech them that, it was a home challenge I set) :D

  11. Raspberry buns we used to call them... me and and old girlfriend used to scoff them in bed. Eeeh, the romance. As others have said, encourage this trait. I've never met a woman yet who doesn't like to sit back with some cava while a man adeptly disports himself in the kitchen.
