Sunday 9 September 2012

One of those days, I had to share.

We arrived at Bookers this morning at a fortunate time, just as everything was being cleared. The student piled the trolley with veggies and lots of sausages a lot of it destined for the freezer. She decided this afternoon would be good cooking time so she set about bulk manufacture of veggi lassagne to be batched up and put into the freezer for future use.

Some things are just not meant to be sometimes. As she was stirring everything in she decided more salt was indicated. So of course she picked up the new salt mill not realising one of the D's had been fiddling losened the top and not done it up again.

Plop, the grinding head and all the salt inside it went into the pan.

So anyway half the veggies went in the compost together with the salt. Onwards and upwards or not.

Half the lassagne had been saved and all in all she was fairly pleased with herself.  

With that came a tap on the door, the Jehovas witnesses who had such a long chat with Bethan the other day enjoyed it so much they came back for more.    This diverted herself from the cooker which in turn meant the cooking was on and no one was stirring. Now I am no master chef but it wasn't long before  even I worked out veggies cooking should not be smelling like that and, come to think of it they should not be smoking either.

Poor old student, she had decided she was having a wine free day, I have just been ordered to deploy the corkscrew, she wants a glass, and make it a big one....
