Notes

Summary: Janie's mother makes macaroni cheese for dinner three times in a week, so in protest Janie says she could do better. But at cooking class, Janie's cheese, corn and potato bake is an abject failure. In desperation Janie buys a frozen dinner, presenting it to the family as her own work. It's a roaring success but having set a high standard Janie is now in real trouble - Mum expects her to cook every Wednesday night from now on, and her piggy bank is empty. Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary
