Hello.
Ive just had a really bad 20 minutes and Im not happy.
I woke up this morning feeling a lot better than I have been recently.My morning has been productive,busy and all in all a good morning.
So its time to make some lunch,and this is where things started going bad.Cheese on toast,what a great idea that is,simple but so good.The preparation started well,Igrated the cheese(extra strong)and started to toast the underside of the bread(2 slices),then reached into the cupboard for the Worcester sauce. NO WORCESTER SAUCE, my lodger(I call him my lodger but that suggests that he pays me rent,so maybe hes my squatter)has used the last of it and not replaced with a new bottle.If Im honest it wasnt a big suprise so I carried on with the job at hand,Cheese on toast with no W/S is still the food of kings.I placed the cheese lovingly on the bread and put under the grill and waited for the tell tale signs that lunch was ready to serve.The cheese started to bubble and started to get that slightly browned colour.So I started to remove the Cheese on toast using a spatula type thing,the kind you use to fry an egg(Idont know its name).First slice,no problem,on the plate,second slice,I picked up on the spatula thingy and then the fucking handle on the spatula thingy came off in my hand.MOTHERFUCKER! this flipped slice two upside down on the grill which meant melted cheese stated dripping onto the floor.All I could do was grab the slice with my fingers(risking serious injury to myself) and throw it onto my plate.NO! It landed on top of slice one,again I risked injury and with no regard for my own safety I picked slice two off of slice one and set it down next to slice one.After a few deep breaths to calm myself I looked down at the victims of the acident.Slice one only had minor damage,alittle bit of cheese missing,Im guessing it was attached to slice twos bottom.Slice two was in a bad way,50% of its cheese was gone and there were no reserves left in the cheese bank so there was nothing I could do to help its sorry looking ass.
I went to a table in another room and ate the Cheese on toast.It was a good meal still,but I knew it could have been so much better if the trajedy hadnt happened.
Life goes on,the sun is out and even though my day on a whole is going to be ok,I dont think I'll ever forget what happened in that kitchen,EVER!
Moral of the story:always check your equipment

Just fancied a change. Today has been OK. No kitchen incidents anyway.
