My sister rang me yesterday for a chat she said we have not seen each other for too long and asked if she could come next weekend. I said yes of course! She then rang me to say that it is Mothering Sunday next week so she won't be able to make it but is free today could she come today instead. I told her of course you can....... Hmm quick dash to the supermarket to buy some food for lunch although she said she would like to go out for lunch but I said no I insisted I would cook instead. I got up at 06:00 started peeling onions and other veg I have decided to make a beef casserole. I precooked the beef with onions and seasonings and have put it in the slow cooker. We will make some roasted potatoes and have cabbage with it. I am in two minds whether to make some cobblers to put on top. I wait and see. I could not be bothered to make a cake last night and to be honest did not really want to make one this morning so I cheated and bought a Blackforest Gateaux from the Patisserie. I am sure that will go down a treat! It looked quite tempting to be honest and looks far better than a cake I would make so its a no brainer really and saves a lot of work too. They are due here in around half an hour. I know the time will fly by as it usually does when they come as we always have lots to catch up on! Have a wonderful Sunday. I will catch you later! This is a photo from Pixabay of a Black Forest Gateaux. Looks yummy doesn't it!

Black Forest is one of my favorite, the one I always order when I go out for dinner. We went to Italy very early this morning. There was a dense fog on the highway to Milan, it was cold, but at least no snow and no rain. I am glad to be back home now.

@MALUSE We voted by mail through the Consulate. I went to Milan to continue to clear my mother's apartment. I have brought back home a lot of things.

I wish my sister didn't live so far away. It is a major production to get together it seems!

That cake looks like the one who made it has great patience going by the intricate work on it. Last minute rush is what I normally do not like. My friend did that to me, and I cancelled her plans She preponed her visit and that was the day I was cleaning my house and was busy with many chores.

Oh the cake is lovely, but your seasoned beef in the slow cooker sounds yummy as well. When you say you may "put some cobblers on top" what does that mean? Is it like putting a crust or dumpling on it?

You are a good hand at cooking and can conjure up a meal for a guest who visits unexpectedly.

Hope your sister likes the beef you make. She will appreciate your idea of not going out to eat.

That cake looks so nice. I'm guessing cobblers might be the same as dumplings? Is that right?
