I remember being all colonial and superior last night when commenting on
the USA view of HP sauce. Well I got my just deseves tonight. The US
had been talking of bacon sarnies and so-on. Well of course we know best - we
invented them after all.

So tonight I cooked an extravaganza of egg, bacon, sausage, chips, bread and butter,
fried bread for some.... the real thing!!!! The plan was to wash it down with
some cheap red wine recently repatriated from France (another earlier colony).

I was in control. Frying pan, grill, eggs cracked one-handed... is there no end to
our inherent ability to show the US how to have a good time!

Then Denise asked for Heinz Tomato ketchup! no problem. It lives in the fridge...
But you're there already.... it had gone. 2 empty bottles. Had GW called in a special
strike to exchange our previously full bottles for US-drained empty ones!

OK I'm sorry......



Did manage a couple of still lifes in the study - sorry job-hunting campaign HQ.
