Canapes, Speeches and Guests Oh My...

Thank the maker that's all over. Can there be anything more dull than going to a works party solely occupied by old men in grey suits all talking about building. Anyone, anyone, Bueller? No - I thought not. I am very glad Mankini was there to pass the time away and share complaints about our throbbing hooves.

Well, it's all over now for another 40 years. I doubt very much I'll still be here at the ripe old age of 78 (I mean at work , not "here" in an existential sense - I'll live forever).

This had better be full of sour cream...

On an hotter note, I can report back on the Diabolical Eruption from Etna Chilli Sauce. It is hot. Damn HOT! the tiniest spoonful (a Nigella Lawson pinch spoon") was enough to transform a vat of chilli makings into something akin to the disaster that wiped out Pompeii, except without leaving spooky hollow people behind. Having said that I think me and Husband felt a little hollow-like the next day.

However, this means that the hunt for the ultimate chilli sauce has so far come good after years of search and struggle. Now I know how Indiana Jones felt....
