short post on cooking

I was a cook for a few years and in spite of the intense pressures that accompany such occupations, I loved it; still do!

I make mistakes probably more than the average chef; I sometimes miss a important part  because I think that I know what I am cooking /doing..lol.

Anyhow the other dark and windy afternoon,I decided to make some soup.

All was well; the recipe, which was new to me, was flowing nicely and I got to the part where I would have to puree the mixture. I could use the blender or the food processor.

Hmm, what prompted me to make the next decision?

I hauled out the processor(an old beast which has caused me trouble before)

The soup went in but strangley, the top suddenly jammed and I could neither turn the machine on, nor open the lid to remove the contents.

GRRRR..   

I finally managed to siphon the contents through the feed tube into the far more friendly blender and left the sulking processor in the sink to reflect upon it’s uncooperative behaviour.

H came home to a house redolent of delicious soup but the evil processor as well. Luckily he managed to unjam it for me…
