A Women’s Weekly cookbook is getting a workout this morning, as an enthusiastic Mum prepares for the post-pandemic homecoming of her only son.
With pots and pans banging and several onions in an early state of translucence, it appears a Guinness World Record attempt for the world’s largest Spag Bol is underway.
Speaking with The Advocate, local Mum and ex-school canteen manager Julie Sandsworth (48) said the arrival of her son was enough to inspire a great Aussie cook off.
“It’s been over six months since I’ve been able to fatten up my little boy, I just can’t wait to see him and force feed him a half a Christmas lunch in one sitting”.
“Ever since he admitted he spent the first two months of lockdown living off Lean Cuisines, I’ve been worried sick about him and his microwave diet”.
“I was so worried I started ordering one of those HelloFresho things to get delivered to him… If I hadn’t, I don’t think he would’ve eaten a single vegetable since June.”
Speaking with the homecoming Prince himself Brandon Gallagher (25), the young hopeless bachelor confessed he was pretty keen to get to work on his favourite family indulgence, a 10 kilo slab of caramel bookended with dark chocolate and a milk arrowroot biscuit base.
“Yeah Mum’s pretty keen to have me home aye…”
“Think I’ll probably park up on the couch this arvie and get stuck into the first tray of whatever she puts in front of me.”
“So yeah there’s about three tupperware containers of dessert in the fridge, so me and Dad might make our way through all of them in front of the cricket.”
Speaking on behalf of her man-child of a son now passed out on the couch, Mrs Sandsworth said she was just glad for life to return to norma;
“It’s just so lovely to have him home.”
“I think tonight I might even start planning the menu for Christmas!”.
