| PROMPT July 27th Write about a time you were caught off guard, surprised, or had the rug pulled out from under you. How did you recover? Well it was 1973, nearly 47 years ago. A dark and stormy night, on our way to the maternity hospital. Things were getting worrying. We were lost. We’d only been in our new country for less than a year and in our new home for less than that. I told my husband to have a dummy run to the hospital but he’d ignored me. Contractions were coming thick and fast, this baby was going to be born very soon. We eventually stopped to ask directions, the driver was very drunk and sent us the wrong way. Oh, Google Maps, how we needed you then. Anyway we managed to get there eventually. Within five minutes of our arrival our son was born. Then came the kicker, there was another baby on the way we didn’t even know was there! Did we recover from the shock? Eventually. |
| PROMPT July 26th What food would you like to judge in a Cook-Off? I’ve been watching MasterChef over the last few weeks and have been in awe of the amazing talent of the chefs. I don’t actually feel as I have the right to stand in judgement of anyone’s culinary attempts. I love watching the judges as they taste the tiny portions and my mouth waters. I am very particular about the way fish is cooked though, so maybe I could be a judge in the fish and chip category. The chips need to be crisp and the fish’s batter thin and melt in your mouth. There’s nothing worse that really thick floury batter. Food should be hot not luke warm, likewise if it’s supposed to chilled then it should be really cold not room temperature.. Kids are the harshest judges I have found. When you present the meal you’ve spent the best part of the day preparing, first they look at it, then poke it with their fork, smell it, take a tiny taste and declare they don’t like it! Then they’ll ask for a sandwich! |
