The importance of accurate labelling...

[Steve Maskery]

I fancied spag bol for dinner tonight. There is often a portion or two in the freezer, so I went hunting. No, I must have eaten the last one.

But there was a bag of frozen red stuff labelled Tom Sauce. If I make a batch I often freeze what I don't use in mince pie tins, so I can take out just what I need. These looked the part.

So I browned some beef mince and chucked in the red stuff. I got suspicious from the smell and when I tasted it....

It was Thai Red Curry and I'd put in enough to feed an army. Now I like TRC, but not when I am expecting SB. not sure now what I want to eat for dinner.

I really should be more careful.

So my mouth is on fire and there is a new batch of spag bol maturing nicely on the stove as I type. I'm just not sure if I want to eat it any more.

Sugar and Salt pots should always be labeled too....

I made someone a cup of tea with two 'Sugars' in.... he drank the lot...
A week later, i made a cup for me sister, with the same 'Sugar', she almost spat the lot out over me

I ate a museli bar left on the kitchen worktop the other day.

I thought it had a bit of a twang but ate it anyway, it was only when the misses asked where the dog treat bar had gone that I realised my mistake.

Just be careful not to go round sniffing people! It's a real giveaway.

We used to have Sunday dinner every week, often with cheese sauce on the veg.
I've got no sense of smell.
I covered my son's lunch with custard.
He was only a nipper at the time and dutifully ate it up.

I keep my liquified hide glue in an ice cube tray in the fridge. Looks just like jelly to the unknowing.

It's right next to the tub of live mealworms that feed the gecko.

Yes the contents of the lowest drawer in my fridge are not for eating!

and then there was the time my two pints of maggots (fishing bait) escaped into Mum's fridge in the 70's. Not best pleased as I recall!

Just wondered Steve if the 'delayed fuse' had hit you yet ? :-"

We once one April fools day swapped the powdered coffee for gravy powder in the coffee machine, sweet, milky gravy any one?

Its a good idea to read what's written to.
Yesterday in a last minute panic, I bought the wife's birthday card (birthday today!)

Whilst there, I also got a nice anniversary card (for next month) with some rather sloppy sentiments inside.
So when I got home I signed both and was feeling rather smug about my forward planning regarding the anniversary card.

Then I read the front : To my wonderful HUSBAND on our anniversary. :roll:
I thought the woman on the checkout looked at me a bit weird!

Happy birthday Mrs Lurker.
