morning all

 

the sun is shining here this morning, I hope it stays for awhile

Good morning everyone.  A beautiful day here yet again.

 

I hope the birthday cake turns out ok Flashie.  I think you should start up a birthday catering business.  You have had so much practice!

 

Not much happening.  I think Baloo and I may play with the vacuum cleaner.

Hi Stringers 🙂

Nothing much happening here...a bit of work...a bit of posting on political threads...and a bit more work.

Hi all

 

it's a gorgeous day here. I've been out to get our lamb roast for tonight's dinner.

 

the baby bonus? I bet none of us got that & we managed OK

Yum, a roast sounds good Deb.

My smoke alarm keeps going off and I'm not even cooking..,and it's a new one I bought to replace the other one that kept going off, agh.

it''s unbearable when they do they do that. Have you got extrememly hot weather, maybe the alarm should be put in a different spot?

It's in the right spot, according to the instructions. I think it goes off in humidity... and because it's an expensive new fangled thing (bought in the hope that it wouldn't misfire so often) it has an extra loud, ear shocking noise lol

And the ceilings are really high... I might have to find the ladder.

hmmm that's the trouble with high ceilings, nothing's easy.

 

what a great washing day today is, I've got a couple of loads done, & done this and that & this and that, now it's time for a rest. Going to watch B & B which I've recorded 

It is washing up time...............so I am hiding up here.

 

I figure I did my bit it cooking it all.

 

The birthday cake tasted OK..........which was surpiriseing.

 

Yesterday when I flattened the pavlova I must have somehow spilt something on the bottom of the oven.

 

So today when I put the birthday cake in the oven it all started smoking..............now it was the only cake mix I had...........and I had used the last of the eggs...........so making another one was out of the question.

 

So.....................I did the only thing possible to save the day..............I opened the oven while the cake was still in there and tried to scrub the bottom of it.

 

Now the only thing I could think of that would work quickly was the kitchen scrub brush.

 

So I quickly opened the oven.................quickly scrubbed the bottom........wiped it........and closed the oven again.

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......the kitchen scrub brush was nylon.........and I melted all the bristles.

 

And.....................the oven was still smoking.

 

I got the pot mit out and quickly gave a scrub..........and wiped again..................and all was good.

 

Cake turned out great.........................but you will have to take my word for it..........because they ate it all.

haha Flashie, I bet the birthday cake was great, even it was smoked.
