Returned home in the middle of a university term to visit my (divorced, living at opposite sides of the city) parents. Found my mum was away for the weekend and that I wouldn't see her, so cooked what must've been a fortnight's worth of meals, soups and stews and so on, and put them in individual containers in the freezer, because she works too much and doesn't have time to eat properly, half the time. Never sure if she realised that I did that or if she just thought she'd forgotten about food she'd already made, but still, that's where the 'without their knowledge' bit comes in, I suppose.
