That's a seriously spooky coincidence! I made a crème caramel last week and the lady fingers for the tiramasu arrived from Shopee just 15 minutes before I read this post! Your recipe book is magic!
You can't cook without 'failures'. I also made a Toad in the Hole yesterday, which had overcooked on the outside and undercooked in the middle simply because I'd had the oven on slightly too high, but next time, I won't make the same mistake and it will be better. The moral is always that mistakes are a necessity to learning and improving. I'm saving the crème caramel and tiramasu when it's made later, today for future posts, but the Toad-in-the Hole.....
I hope you and your mum have a great week. Sometimes breathing in some fresh air and looking up at the sky is all it takes to get back on an even keel :-)
