Rock buns for rock star mums
It has been a week since my beautiful twins have flown the nest and rocked up at University. Our home is strangely quiet and mysteriously tidy - aha it wasn't me after all clogging up the bathroom and trashing the kitchen.
Our nest is roomier but by no means an empty one. When I dropped them off last Sunday, I was dazzled by the bright young things who met us and unloaded our cars and welcomed them to Uni land! I shared knowing glances with all the Mums who were holding back the tears and bravely pushed their fledgling offspring off the ledge.
Driving home I felt a heady concoction of high emotion coupled with deep pride. This week I have been at the post office alot! Jiffy bags stuffed with forgotten underwear were dispatched. The lady behind the counter asked what the package contained.
"Knickers" I blurted, " my daughter has forgotten to take any knickers to University!" A man in the giggling queue behind me piped up " she probably won't be needing them, love!"
I feel like I've run a double marathon getting my duo thus far and I'm so proud of them but it didn't happen by accident. I'm proud of me too and all us Mums who made the years of toil and tears seem like Disneyland ! We are rockstars, I salute you all. Don't think of your nests as empty, take this opportunity to feather your own nest! Rest and be thankful- mums rock!
Rock buns
My youngest made these for me this week and they transported me back to my Grandmother's kitchen , super easy and super delicious.
200g hard margarine
75g Demerara sugar
1 egg
50g soft dates chopped
200g SR flour
3tbs water
Rub the Marg into the flour and stir in the other ingredients.
Dollop the mixture onto a greased baking tray and put into a preheated oven 220 degrees for 15 minutes. So scrummy you'll want more than one! Best eaten on the same day but that won't be difficult!
