Pirate Daisy

I'm quite good at Shepherd's Pie, though I do say so myself. I've found that if you take a Homepride Sauce and add nice mince from the farm shop, potatoes and veg from your own allotment and grate cheese over the top you come out with a pretty tasty treat. More than that, it doesn't take long.



When it's a "Seppards Pie" night (as Dais calls it) I can be pretty confident that I can ignore most noises from the playroom coz I'm only going to be a minute. I could hear her calling out "I'm Pirate Daisy" but I figured that would be her and Molly in their Peter Pan outfits dueling with their plastic swords, so cracked on with my culinary family treat.



When I finally set the oven timer to 30 mins and leant back to relax against the cupboards, this is what met my gaze ... Molly had indeed created a Pirate Daisy with a thick black permanent marker she had pinched from my office.



After I had scrubbed rather unsuccessfully at the marker pen for a while, I decided the rest would come off in the shower tomorrow morning and turned my attention to making their beds, putting out their pyjamas and closing the curtains for the night.



When I returned to the kitchen I found that Dais had created her own new hot drink blend. She had tipped all the coffee into the sugar and all the sugar into the coffee with a liberal smattering around the kitchen floor (right in front of the oven). After sweeping everything up and wiping the bottom of my sticky slippers, I decided a cuppa was in order and to my surprise the new Daisy blend was really rather good. I usually have to take one spoon of coffee from the top pot and then go to all the bother of adding sugar from the bottom one. This way I only had to add 2 spoons from the Daisy blend.



Nice one Dais!
