The swirling mists parted, and through the space came a sound. It got shriller and finally, the mists dissipated and the sound of the alarm clock registered. I reached out and thumped it off and burrowed deeper into the blanket. The mists almost closed up again when there was a thought... why was the alarm on at all? I almost jumped out of bed when I realised there was plenty to do before start of class. Moving the curtain aside, I looked out of the window to see a rain-kissed grey sky. Ooh, just the weather for a hot casserole...
And that day, thanks to the good weather, a great bunch of students went home with these:
a chicken and vegetable casserole that had to be done in a roasting pan (who cares, as long as there's plenty in it);
a yummy, scrummy picnic meat loaf;
a tuna loaf with thousand island dressing) - one student told me it was the first time she was having tuna and she loved it (phew!);
a pasta chicken bake that could be served 3 ways;
and just when they thought the sight and aroma of all that food would make them pass out in hunger, they got to make and eat their own croque messieurs!!
