Christina – Many thanks. I’m getting there slowly.

Antonia – Hope your friend understood and didn’t think she was a neglected veggie! :)

So nice to see the ‘reality’ of cooking reflected in a food blog. Usually you just hear about the good stuff yet we all have our share of disasters!

My most recent was a goats cheese and red onion tart that I was cooking for a vegetarian friend who came last minute to a very meat-orientated dinner party. So busy was I with catering for the omnivores that I burnt the tart to a cinder. Luckily I had enough pastry to make a second one, forgot about it in the oven and burnt that one too. In the end I had to whip up a rather dull-looking pasta dish with the few ingredients I had lurking around!

That happened to me a little while ago but wasnt as lucky as you as it hit my eye – ouch! Luckily after a couple of days of pain it healed very well.

I blamed Tesco’s though as it was a packet suggestion to cook it whole with no menion of pricking it. Though they have now agreed to modify their instructions!!

Nora – I’m avoiding chocolate altogether just now!

Wheatless Bay – Thanks. :) Find exploding potatoes messy rather than exciting…

David – Managed to confess to my other half about the venison tonight and he was fairly gracious about it! :)

It happens to all of us. The venison and chocolate was the funniest, what a nightmare!

Cheers
David

I’ve exploded aubergine in the oven, and baking potatoes. It’s an absent-minded thing (unless you have a more exciting way of exploding them, which I suppose is possible).
