Wellshe devised this method of making jelly involving a saucepan. Apparently it was much quicker and easier, and gave perfect results... except when someone arrives at the door and you leave it on the hob :)
Speaking of culinary disasters, many years ago I was in a cooking lesson at school, and we were making flapjacks. Unfortunately, my friend Luke and I both somehow forgot to bring sugar! Instead of just asking the teacher, we decided to go and look for some in the cupboards. We found a jar of what looked like sugar, and without trying it, we just put it in the recipe.
Needless to say, salty flapjacks taste fowl! But on the other hand, they do sound rude :)

arf!ocasionally my mum used to forget the salt when she made bread. Putting salt and then jam on bread is weird.
Rather sadly we asked her why she doesn't make bread now. She said "no one seems to eat it any more". I asked her if she'd realised we all left home about 10 years ago...

I know for a factthats why my mum doesn't make bread any more, because if you ask her why she doesn't make bread any more, she says "Christ no! It takes all bloody day!"
She did get a breadmaker thingy but it made crap bread, so it got put in the cupboard :)

Wellafter a couple of weeks my mum got the knack of making fairly nice bread with it, but the fact is its not as nice as proper home made bread, the loaves are tiny, and its still not as convenient as just going down the shop and buying the stuff ;)
