Yesterday we had mum's stew, this is a special dish in my house. She cooks it very well. It was delicious! The recipe is secret, but yesterday mum's stew had meat, potatoes and vegetables. We want to learn to cook it (in order) to eat something hot in winter. After eating mum's stew, we had roasted apples for dessert. I think we are going to return to our mother's house very often.

Clever stuff happening!
