I had Miss Mischief make some pikelets for afternoon tea. I had her use gluten free flour so that I could indulge along with the children. We had them with raspberry jam.
Throughout the afternoon I managed to:
- Roast tomatoes and garlic for Roasted Tomato Soup.
- Make Chicken stock for soup.
- Prepare a pork meatloaf for the freezer, complete with attached instructions for cooking and the bacon pieces required.
- Cook a roast for dinner last night. The leftovers are in the fridge and I will use them for my lunches this week.
- Made a chocolate cake.
- Made a batch of bluten free biscuits.
It feels good to know that one meal this week is on its way and I haven't wasted the tomatoes that were on their way to oblivion. It's also nice to know I've gotten a meal organised for one night when I don't make to to the grocery shopping, or when I don't have time...or whatever else might come up.

LOL. It was definitely a rare moment of madness in the kitchen Rel. That's why it's so noteworthy. Don't ask about all the things that I keep thinking "must do that soon...".
ooh! 'pikelets' - my landlady used to make them when I was a student. Except when she first mentioned thme I did not know what they were. I thought a pikelet was a tiny fish like a pike!!
In the English Midlands they are called pikelets - but in the South where I hail from, we call them crumpets.
Its because the civil war soldiers toasted them over the fire on the end of their pikes
Crumpets here, are something quite different. They're a yeast dough product and nothing like a pancake or pikelet at all.
