The routines we\u2019ve all had to adopt over these past several weeks are often described as the \u201cnew normal\u201d.<\/h3>\n

Always a glass half full kinda gal, I\u2019m trying to make the most of the regimes we\u2019ve had to adopt. I\u2019m sure you are doing the same, although for many of us the household routines can perhaps have us feeling somewhat tetchy at times, and that\u2019s to be expected. There are many, many issues swirling around us, not least of which the uncertainty of what our daily routines will morph into in the future.
\nI\u2019m buoyed by the upbeat tone of many journalists, food writers, and radio presenters who all contribute to enriching my day with the humorous, tongue-in-cheek articles and life stories; the fabulous, simple recipes being featured in the daily newspapers for inspiration, and the smorgasbord of marvelous music that is a constant background in our household. When all else is looking and feeling a bit overwhelming, the choice of music can certainly help lift or change your mood.
\nSimilarly the daily \u2018grind\u2019 of preparing meals for the household can be daunting I know, and that\u2019s why a return to the simple, old fashioned recipes of our mums and grandmothers are just the ticket. Wholesome, hearty, comfort food is what we need \u2013 and indeed with Mother\u2019s Day just round the corner, let\u2019s make something special to honour the mums!
\nReset seems to be the buzzword at the moment, and for sure, by the time this new experience of COVID-time is in our past, we will surely have learnt new habits and skills; we\u2019ll likely re-evaluate what\u2019s really important, and many other former priorities might be listed in an entirely new and reviewed order of importance.
\nOne habit I\u2019ve adopted is the big cookup and by that I mean I cook double the quantity of various recipes, freezing one lot, so that on those days when you just can\u2019t muster the energy to cook from scratch, after a hectic day of working from home, juggling the home schooling, and a gazillion other duties. And often I just stop and ponder and admire what I think would have been the \u2018norm\u2019 for many of our mums and grandmas in generations past?
\nThere are times when we seek to serve particular food or favourite dishes to mark an occasion. In COVID times, Zoom<\/a> dinner parties and birthday celebrations have been marked using the internet\u2019s digital magic. Thank goodness for it being a useful way of staying in touch! Perhaps Mother\u2019s Day will present an opportunity to Zoom with your family, spoiling yourselves and honoring your mum by cooking her favourite meal, or cake is a lovely way to say \u201cthanks Mum!\u201d
\nTherefore this year I plan to make these very old fashioned cheesecakes to mark the occasion of Mother\u2019s Day. I\u2019m still at a loss to know why they\u2019re called cheesecakes \u2013 as there\u2019s no cheese in them!
\nI\u2019m recalling the thoughtful planning that went into deciding on the food to be served on the occasion of a funeral for a very special mother (-in-law to me) some years ago now. The family, principally the womenfolk, came up with several suggestions of \u201cfamily favourites\u201d \u2013 food that we all associated with a lady who had reared six children, and was the very model of a capable, independent mother, wife and grandmother. These dainty cakes were among her repertoire and so we HAD to serve them as part of the afternoon tea!
\nNo doubt every family has their own half dozen or so favourites \u2013 so I hope you\u2019ll choose one to bake and enjoy as you make a special day of spoiling your mum! It may well be food shared from a distance, but nonetheless will certainly zoom straight to the heart of your Mum. Even if you\u2019re \u2018celebrating\u2019 from afar, she\u2019ll acknowledge that you\u2019ve thought about all the meals she cooked for you from birth to when you left home on your own adventures. This year in lockdown we\u2019ll all need to be a little bit clever about how we can truly make an occasion of Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Mother\u2019s Day Cheesecakes<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n60g caster sugar
