Loved this and wanted to share it- Helen Simpson's short story for Mother's Day:

I read this and liked it. I wrote a similar "foodie" one - about teaching my son to make macaroni cheese that was one of my favourite stories and one that a lot of readers liked. This reminded me very much of it. Hers was better, of course!
