Just like your mother made

I like to take a casual stroll down memory lane every now and then. This week we reminisced about food our mothers/grandmothers had made us. So many memories can be attached to food.

We also had to think of  theme that would let me make Rhubarb Crumble, I've been craving it for weeks.

The Theme

Just Like Your Mother Made 

The Menu

Main

Bacon and Egg Pie

Vegetables added for health and shit

Chef's Rating: 8 out of 10 Chicken Fetuses

You can't really go wrong with cheese and puff pastry. It made for a bad ass breakfast too.

Chemo Boy's Grandmother used to make this for him.  

Dessert 

Rhubarb Crumble with Custard

Used real Vanilla Bean for the first time to flavour the custard. Dayum it was good. Vanilla Bean is a special treat, it was some fine ass custard.

Chef's Rating: 8.5 out of 10 Burnt Apricots

I added some apricots to the top of the crumble and it turns out they burn really easily. The ratio of crumble to rhubarb was also a bit out, personally I like more Rhubarb, less crumble. But it was still good because rhubarb is amazing. 

My mother used to make this for me.

Drink

Fluffy Duck

It was a full and merry house this week

Chef's Rating: 7 out of 8 Adorable Ducks

These cocktails were super tasty and actually worked really well with the vanilla/egg sub-theme that we had going on.

My Grandmother used to make these apparently (I didn't know until I told my mum about the fluffy ducks and she said she can remember Grandma making them when she was a kid. I love it when things work out)

I also spent the evening cataloging and rearranging our booze collection. That is how seriously I take this.

There is an unholy pleasure that comes from having things organised

Ok, that's me done! I am actually surprised I didn't fall asleep half way through writing this post.

May all your dreams be sweet.
