It was pancake day yesterday, and because Edwin is now away at uni I thought I'd either not bother, or buy some ready made ones. Because, although I am confident with most stuff in the kitchen, I am absolutely useless at making pancakes. All three of my children are good at making pancakes as a result. ROFL....well they had to learn how to make them, or do without
I opted for buying some ready made pancakes, and I really wish I hadn't bothered as while they might be pancakes, they are not the usual ones made in the UK.
Pancakes are made with a batter, and could be made into Yorkshire puddings instead of pancakes. But these ones didn't look like the ones made from standard batter, and when I looked at the list of ingredients, there's sugar in them. I can tell you now, they certainly made my savoury filling taste odd.
So...next time, I'll either make scotch pancakes, which I can make, or do without.

Equipment for university
I think I might have got most of the stuff that Edwin needs to take with him to university in September now.
Today I have been buying him some more kitchen stuff.
two knives, a small one and a larger one. Decided to buy Sabatier ones as they were only slightly dearer and they are guaranteed for 15 years.
Kitchen shears, for chopping stuff in the kitchen when a knife just won't do.
Two wooden spatulas and a wooden spoon.
Oven gloves
cutlery
roasting tin
grater.
That was all on a trip to Asda. I have bought other stuff such as a wok, frying pan, steamer, , and loads of other kitchen things.
Edwin is going in self catering halls.
Bedding, towels, etc will be sorted out from home, and I bought him a stash of sketchbooks so that he doesn't have to worry about trying to find some. I bought him 6 Fat Eco Pigs size A4, and six A3 ones and a normal thickness A2 sketchbook as well. The sketchbooks are from a company called The Pink Pig in Huddersfield, school where I work get there's from the same company which is how I knew where to get them from. (I have been Art technician at one point.) A lot of his art equipment lives in stacking boxes when not being used so it will just be a case of making sure that what he wants to take with him is in the boxes.
I know I'll miss Edwin, but I know that he will thoroughly enjoy his time at uni and might miss me a little bit, but he is starting out on his adult life. A thing that all of us have to do at one time or another in their life.
