I decided early this morning that I wanted to do some baking for the kids lunches. Sarah's own hokey pokey biscuits from the weekend were just about gone, so we need something for the lunch boxes tomorrow.
I thought back to when I was a child and how my Mum used to bake once a week. She would ask us each what we'd like her to bake, then she would make those biscuits for us. I seem to remember it was always on a Wednesday? I wonder why Wednesday? Was it when she did the shopping? Or mid way through the week? I'm not sure? But I always remember Yo-Yo's being one of my favourites. Often us girls (I am one of 4 girls) would get together and work out if one of us was asking for Yo-Yo's then another would ask for Ginger crunch and so on. If you were really tricky (read manipulative, grin), you managed to get everything you wanted without the others realising you were doing this. No not me. I was always miss naive (although I'm sure my sisters would disagree with me. LOL).
Anyway, today I decided on yo-yos. Cute little biscuits that melt in your mouth. I haven't made them in a while, and right now they're in the oven. The fun part comes once they are cooled down and I put them together! Wish me luck.
Nope not going to wish you luck cos i know they going to be delish!!No point in asking to send some down as they will disappear in a flash .. Youre a great Mumma Trina!!!

I have fond memories of my Mum baking 3 things each Sun afternoon for school lunches too. The funny thing was we had to hide it from my Dad or he would eat it all in the middle of the night. So I now too bake for my kids most weeks. Not so good for my waistline but hopefully it will become a fond memory for them too in time :)
