She had cookery most of last term on a Monday and was generally quite disorganised about bringing info home re ingredients and we often had annoying last minute texting to friends to find our what she needed last thing on a Sunday afternoon.
Yesterday she yet again wasn't sure what to bring. The only girl who she could contact wasn't sure of the ingredients and said she was just going to make cup cakes ( for the 3 rd time). I told dd that I wasn't prepared to send in a 3 rd batch of cupcake ingredients as there was no learning in that!( She's in year 7 so first year senior school)
She seemed to think they'd be cooking pasta, so I suggested finding a sauce recipe, but dd insisted it would need to be ingredients for fresh pasta! I said this was most unlikely but she rejected my suggestion.
I said that she'd have to accept that if she couldn't be more organised, then she'd have to miss out as I wasn't prepared to send her in with random pasta and cake ingredients to cover all bases.
So... Today everyone made pasta sauce ( I was right) and dd's friend was allowed to make the cupcakes. My dd did a worksheet.
Am I mean?
