A couple of quickies:+ My parents once went away for a week leaving me alone with lots of money to feed myself with..which I promptly spent on vodka. After 5 days on slim rations I decided to concoct something out of many ingredients. The result:
A potato waffle, 2 fish fingers, 4 mini frozen yorkshire puddings and tinned spaghetti and sausages..in a bowl. Was quite lovely actually.
+ When I was in my early teens I went through a brief spate of microwaving ham sandwiches. I retch at the mere thought of it now.
+ Once many years ago at school we were reading Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory (or whatever the title is) and as a result were set homework to make our own sweets. On my way home that night I picked up a vast selection of chocolate products including a chocolate orange, chocolate mousse and lots of Cadbury's generic stuff..Caramel and the like. On arriving home I put everything into a bowl and microwaved it. When it was in its sludge form I decided to add taste and texture..in the form of fresh orange juice and rich tea biscuits.
The resulting..thing..smelt ungodly and according to the teacher who had to taste it was 'interesting'. The poor woman looked intensely ill after one spoonful.
