Oh whata mistaka to make.

One to amuse the lovely laaydees.

Decided to make an apple crumble this morning so having peeled chopped and prepared the apples I then went to the larder for some plain flour and demerara sugar. Saw a new pcket next to one with a little in it so tipped that onto the scales and added from the new packet. Only later when I was clearing up did I find that the first ounce of sugar was in fact cous cous.

Takes ok but a bit crunchy.

OK nothing to do with AF but thought you needed a laugh. Off for a curry now.

Not sure that this would beat Bob’s recent culinary extravaganza. Several years back we were having some friends over for dinner and because they were my friends more than my wife’s, I felt I should do the honourable thing and help out in the kitchen....Big mistake! She asked me to light to light one of the gas rings so I turned on the gas and pressed a button which I assumed ignited the gas. Wrong....it turned out to be a safety thingy which effectively closed down the oven. Problem was, we didn’t know where the instruction book was so I was eventually assigned to a local takeaway with a red face and a credit card!!

Great thing about an Aga is it is never off. Only problem is if you forget something is in it you only find out when you next open it and find a tray full of carbon. In the meantime the neighbours have been wondering what the burning smell is. lol

In response and not cooking related. But just to prove I am quite capable of nonsense and silliness. Before I had my cataracts removed I wore glasses for everything except showering. I remember very well one day getting into the shower and thought I would use my wife's new hair shampoo and very nice it was until I realised it was Immac hair remover......I had many sleepless nights worrying whether or not I would have hair in the morning!!!

I mistook my Mum's Immac as toothpaste once when I was a kid 🤮

I make a lemon cake with polenta mixed with the flour. It gives a lovely crunchy texture.

Got one better than that, until I lost my wife to cancer, I was the typical British husband, didn’t cook a thing, so my wife had cleaned the oven one morning & we were getting ready to go on Holliday, so I thought, I fancy a Frey bentos steak & kidney pudding, stuck it in the oven & 30 min or so later I heard an explosion, yep I’d forgot to take the lid off, blew the door open, shattered the glass door & the contents Baked on to the oven like concrete, happy days!

I do all the cooking these days!
