Maybe she can knit you sweaters then? Or find an extra job, taking out the neighbours dogs?

There must be something she can help out with so there's less frictions between y'all?
Aaaand, the best cake is no-bake.
Cheesecake with gelatin and cookiecrumb/butter bottomlayer. Just add some apricots from can, easy, but still super nice. <3 We use "kwark", but not sure what the english synonym is. The other option is "arretjescake", which is cookies, butter, sugar and cocoa, then all in fridge. Dutch version is with margarin, but I believe it's originally an Italian recipe? With butter, super fat and you cannot eat a lot, but easy and no-bake. :) :)
