A Handy Cooking Tip

[hellison]

When making a nice toasted sandwich for tea, do try to ensure that the lead for the radio is not *also* in the sandwich maker.

However if you really MUST add the piquant taste of burnt wire and rubber to your food, do ensure you know where the trip switch for your electricity is, and that you can find it in the dark.


Disaster? Moi? Surely not...

(and today had been going SO well ;p)

...aaand on the Seventh Day, being the day between the Sixth Day and the Eighth Day, The Deity of Your Choice rested. And ordered Pizza. With peppers, mushrooms, sweetcorn and halapenjos, and he saw that it was good pizza.

With Cinammon Bites.

OMG! Are you trying to kill Hellison? By forcefeeding her cheese, sweetcorn and SPICY HOT JALAPENOS? Cool! Go right ahead

*peals of witchlike laughter*

Naah, if I wanted to do that it would be CHIP BUTTIES! With BUTTA!!!!

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

But aren't Chip butties a Good Thing?

[adelpha.livejournal.com]

They're a very good thing. That's the problem ;)

A nice chunk of hollowed-out french stick, buttered, filled with chips, with vinegar poured in. Mmmm....

Sorry, I got a little distracted.

Red sauce! Don't forget the red sauce!

I find the best thing is to know where a torch can be found in the dark...

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Well alas the torch was out in teh garage but CUNNINGLY I used teh mobile phone, which is really very bright ;p

[http://users.livejournal.com/_unhurt_/]

note to self: do not rely on hellison in case of 'day after tomorrow' scenario. torch not handy, probably could not even locate towel if pressed. may attempt to cook insulated electrical wiring and pass it off as spaghetti.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Hey, I know where my towel is!

(because it is on my head)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_unhurt_/]

yeah, yeah, ok. perhaps you are not SO unprepared as i thought.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

heh, excellent icon btw ;p

[http://users.livejournal.com/_unhurt_/]

i am collecting them - it is like an addiction! only, not fatal. i hope. must... buy... more... space...

look, new jayne!

[whit-merule.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. Last blackout (new year's eve, incidentally) I used my mobile phone to find the torch on my keyring which i then used to find the big torch!

[glassstrider.livejournal.com]

Heh, I do that with the light on my Game Boy, like when I'm going to bed.

[dreammonkey.livejournal.com]

Not that this wakes anyone up ever... OH NO.

[tyrell.livejournal.com]

Whoa, good one.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Yep, I think I really outdid myself this time ;)

And while on the subject of Doing Clever Things with Electrical Wiring we offer this piece of astonishing advice: Do Notte Cut Electrical Wire Currently Plugged Into Socket With Scissors.

Take my word for it. Also, do hide the obviously cut wire and scissors woth burnmarks before you tell the janitor you have no idea why the power in the building went out because surely you Didn't Touch Nuffink, It Just Happened.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's even MORE impressive than me toasting the radio lead!

Well done :)

More advice

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

Do not come home from work for a spot of lunch, and ignore the fact that the kitchen is full of last night's dishes.
Do not bung cheap pizza in oven without checking that all the rings on the hob are at 0.
Do not stare dully at the glass lid (with plastic knob) that is lying on your hob over one of the rings
Do not go next door, slump in front of Oprah and have a ciggie

(stumbled back into kitchen to be greeted by smoke (noxious plastic smoke), flames, and bits of glass pinging off the wall)
