Janet Is Confused By Ovens....

[gness]

.....S and P have headed up to the mountains in a hired car.......Janet and John are staying around here with hired bikes....(bliss....the motorists here are wonderful and so thoughtful towards cyclists...what a difference)

Anyway......Janet and John stopped for cocktails on the way back from today's birding and Lord only knows what was in John's cocktail but he's three sheets to the wind......so Janet said she would cook......methinks she may have been a tad tipsy if she's offering to cook......prick and ping is as far as she goes as a rule......

But the oven!.....It's not a fan oven....which Janet has had some experience with.....but a silent oven.......you switch it on and it just sits there...making no noise......

Can't be doing much....thinks Janet...so she turns it up....and up.....and Janet being Janet then goes off to crochet a hat for Knit for Peace......and discovers that....

Silent ovens do cook things.....in fact they can burn things......but hey....John doesn't look as if he knows what he'll be eating...... :-)

It's hot here, Tony....so I'm keeping all the creams and ointments in the fridge....he'll be fine....surprised but fine..... :-)

He sings?!!!!!! oh my..........My sympathies....

John is of the opinion that "Piri Piri Nuts" should be a peanut based snack to nibbled with canapes before dinner.

Janet has now shown John the label from the pork product she cooked (ahem) with the "piri piri sauce in a bag" for tonight's meal ... John now knows what people mean when they say that you can eat every part of the pig except the squeak ...

Thank you, BM.........I can only add...he thinks he sings....:-(

[gness]

Oh bums!...I do recall the piri piri stuff in a bag....a plastic bag....and I'm sure I did something culinary with it.....and it's nowhere to be seen in the kitchen.....

That would explain the tough and hard to cut part of John's meal...... :-(

ahem - sounds deliccccious - more you than me - and I suspect many others.

the lengths some people will go to to meet a portuguese fireman

[gness]

You'd give me ten for effort then, Ael.... ;-)
