First day
Pancakes
Alright, it's the first day after Peeta left. It's been awhile since Greasy Sae came here. She used to make sure I eat each and every day. However, now that Peeta was usually here, she already set up her own little shop in town and has rarely come here. It's one of those days she doesn't come.
"Mama! I'm hungry" My eldest whined while rubbing her small tummy. My little Boy looked at his Big sister and began to imitate her. I sighed. I know I'm not much of a cook but I guess pancakes can count as a good breakfast. Peeta usually cooks that in the morning anyway.
I took the Box and began to read the instructions.
"Don't forget your apron!" My little girl noted, handing over a white apron that Peeta usually wears. A smile crept up to me when I smelled flour and sugar on it. It smells just like him. I noticed while putting it on that there's a couple of stains on it. I guess I should at least wash it after using it since Peeta didn't seem to mix it in the laundry.
As soon as I understood what I'm up for, I took a bowl and began dumping the ingredients. The little ones looked amazed while I mix the batter and even suggested they do it.
I thought it was a good thing, but word of advice never let the kids do it.
I just went to search for the frying pan and when I get back I saw a messy sight. A little girl mixing batter that's spilled way too many times with her little brother who keeps eating the batter that spills on the counter.
As soon as they saw me, they pointed at each other, accusing one another. I smiled at them with amusement.
"Alright, I guess that's enough" I said, taking the bowl away from their grasp.
My Eldest began to frown while the youngest enjoyed the last batter around his little fingers.
Time to cook. I pour a decent amount on the pan when I felt heat rise on it. I frowned when I realized it burning fast. Why was it burning fast? Did I forget something?
"Oil!" my youngest shouted while he carried the cooking oil in his arms.
"Papa always uses cooking oil. Mama forgot?" my little girl smiled at me innocently. I smiled back and began to restart my cooking.
"I forgot"
After cleaning the pan, I restart my work. I poured oil and then a decent amount of batter and the cooking begins.
It was rather hard than I expected. One thing is that the kids had kept on asking and talking that keeps getting me occupied. It's been five times that I hear them scream 'Pancakes!' and surely enough we end up with burnt sides.
The two look at their plates. The pancakes had burnt parts and that didn't seem to be giving any appetite.
I sighed; trying to make sure I kept my full attention to the task at hand. I felt victory when I managed a fresh burnt-free batch. The two claps at my success.
"Two more!" My little girl smiles at me.
"More!" the youngest shouted in glee while he hurries to the fridge to get the syrup. Unfortunately, the third batch was the last and there weren't any more. We stared at the perfected batch.
A grumble came from my little Boy and then he stares at me with a pout. I sighed. As much as I want that fresh batch, I would rather have these two eat it. But somehow, my girl didn't agree with me.
She runs to the cupboard and began to take out three forks. I stare at her as she goes back to her chair and starts pouring syrup on our pancakes, then handing us a fork.
"Let's share!" she smiled. I thought about it for a moment, but their impatience got hold of them and they began eating. I smiled as I joined in.
We were nearly finished when a knock came by the door and in comes Greasy Sae.
"Peeta told me to prepare breakfast in case you were hungry since his…." Her words died down as she found us on the kitchen counter sharing pancakes. Buttercup was also with us, though she had her fill with the burnt batch.
"Next time I'll make sure to come by earlier" she smiled before cleaning our little mess and began cooking for lunch.
Update! Hopefully it's okay! Please Review
