just another saturday

My mum and dad 'did' lunch at their house every single Saturday since about 1988 - that is a long time. There is always the regular crowd, and others come and go. When mum did lunch it was always yummy - you know how your mum just prepares stuff and it tastes good. WE still have lunch every Saturday with the regular crowd - but no one knows how to cut up the chicken like mum did. We never learnt because she always did it. Saturday lunch is always full of laughs. It's noisy but it is fun. Some highlights

• mum liked the bread from a certain shop, the butter from a different shop, and the chickens only after a certain time , and the salad stuff had to be bought the night before so it was 'cold enough'
• dad somehow always managed to buy the wrong avocadoes - not ripe enough or too ripe
• i have mentioned before the wanders of the fridge - so drinks have to be just cold enough with the right amount of slushie
• dad has habit of buying lady finger bananas and then not telling anyone until everyone is full and then he gets from the kitchen
• everyone always finishes lunch with a golden syrup sandwich...yum-o
