Invisible Onions

Because yesterday was mothers day, and I suck at giving gifts, I was at a loss of what to give my mum. The fact that she kept saying she didn't want anything didn't help either. Last year I thought of the perfect gift. It was something my mum would use constantly and she wouldn't have to lie when she told me she liked it. Since mothers day last year, I've been looking for this perfect gift, but no one has had it (It really isn't anything all that special either).

This year instead of feeling defeated at not being able to find this particular gift, I decided to make something for her instead. I was thinking I'd make her breakfast in bed! But it bugged me because that's what it is commonly known for people to do and I don't like to follow trends. Then I had the perfect idea. Dinner in bed, I knew she'd love that (and she did).

I got my sister to help me make it because she loves cooking dinner!
We made mum a lamb roast with pretty little vegetables too. We made a thing with cabbage, onion and bacon. I don't know what it's called, but mum likes it, so that's all that matters :) Mum wrote down instructions for how Molly should make it, and it said to 'cook the onions until they are translucent'. Molly being her gorgeous self read it as saying 'cook the onions until they are transparent' or in other words 'invisible'.

So there we were, cooking the onions, with Molly waiting for them to turn invisible... Oddly enough, they never did... She got worried when they started turning brown and then eventually got a bit burnt. So I was laughing at her a lot, because it was funny.

After dinner I was still really hungry, so I made some pasta... I ended up making it completely wrong... so then Molly laughed at me. Alright, so I've forgotten the point of this blog, but I still think it was funny about the invisible onions :)
