We have people coming round for Sunday lunch today. DH is doing a roast. I was planning on doing baked peaches with mascarpone but when DH went to the supermarket late last night there weren't any peaches.
I have to take DS1 to his swimming lesson this morning. We have to be there before the shops open. DH will be at home with DS2 (15 months) and will also be prepping all the roast bits so can't help.
I'll be home for just after 11am and will need to dry my hair/shove some make up on/get the kids dressed then will probably have about 30 minutes to prep something before guests arrive at 12pm.
At home I have the basics (flour, eggs, butter, sugar, cocoa powder) and then some tinned pears, a couple of apples and not much else. I can stop at the garage but a trip to the supermarket will take an additional 15 minutes off my already tight timescales!
What can I make that looks vaguely impressive in a very short timescale?
