Burgered Up


Me and my big mouth! You would think that after last time I would have learnt a lesson wouldn’t you but no….
It seems that She Of The Town House may have got wind of my last post you see. Well better that than down wind of it but anyway. While The Boy and I were out grinding corn she decided to make an extra special effort and rustle up a surprise for tea.
So she dug up a few spuds and put them on to boil.
After that she got distracted and wandered off up to see a friend, came back an hour or so later to find the Townhouse full of steam.
Then she toasted some burger buns.
Later she prised them out of the toaster and cut the burnt bits off, she avoided electrical accidents by using a plastic spatula. This made the house smell a bit funny but this was later masked by the smell of what came next so it didn’t really matter.
She found some delicious and succulent buffalo burgers yesterday and figured they would be a real treat.
Placing them on ‘high’ she then nipped off to check her e-mail……you can see where this is going cant you…..
I think that a long story ought to be cut short here as I have to make it up to the chip shop in a mo.
When it was all banged down on a plate in front of us I could tell that our reaction was important and that saying the wrong thing might cause upset.
Eventually the boy and I came up with this.

“Darling, I just cant tell you how good that was”.

Tomorrow, dear reader, I am coming round to your house for tea.

You are more than welcome to come round and eat at mine...no burnt burgers here! I'm happy to take pity on your poor offerings of food.

That was so funny... I laughed out loud. You cheered me up. I guess she can at least guarantee that she is wined and dined royally by yourself on regular occasions! How are you btw?

I laughed as well, thank you. you're welcome in Aberdeenshire anytime though my cooking leaves a lot to be desired...

It's quite a way to come but you're welcome. Of course, you could always offer to fund a cookery course for your beloved.

It's a bit late now, today being two days after your post - so I expect you turned left off the tram lines instead of right, or got sidetracked by Edwards before you ever got out of Conwy.
Still you'd have been most welcome to share my Tesco rabbit or duck legs
