She was a naughty engine, surely?

 

[classic33]

Nope, but the dog ran through it!

Now you're certain the dog that came out was the same one that went in?

Leave the swelling but take away the pain?

I just learnt that the perfect way to cut roast potatoes for maximum crispness is to first slice it in half along its greatest length and then slice the two halves at an angle of 37°, cutting wedgewise. (I can't believe my spell checker accepts wedgewise as a word .)

It was the server at the pub who told me this and apparently her father would cook with a protractor, and had even appeared on TV to discuss it.

So there you are.

fwiw - my first girlfriend's father, taught me how to make breakfast potatoes. par boil. then slice into discs 1/4" thick, then cut those into quarters, so you wind up w/ a bunch of thin triangles. he was an architect. anyways, they browned up nicely w/ a sprinkling of celery salt, in a large cast iron pan & some oil

No pictures, just a diagram on a piece of paper, I'm afraid. But a breakfast potato architect! There can't be many of them.

I'm sure it wasn't as bad as using Tiger Balm and then going for a wee without giving your hands a wash first.

I'll raise you chopping a job lot of chillies for chutney, and then needing to go and deal with monthly lady problems.

Now THAT was more than just a tad eyewatering.
