Children cooking during lockdown

Like many, we have got our children cooking one meal a week each during lockdown. Bearing in mind they are 23 and 20 and both at university, one may be forgiven for thinking (or hoping) that they had learnt some cooking skills. Clearly not! All I can say is that it is like being a nurse in a top, and demanding, surgeon’s operating theatre! We run around handing them things, mixing things, getting ingredients out of the cupboard and giving instructions! Then the clearing up bit is even worse. It’s like after Christmas lunch with every pot and utensil used and the kitchen looks like Hiroshima. Throw in a tempter tantrum and you have to ask if it is worth it!! Happy lockdown days! Keep safe everyone.
