today's top tip

Sage advice was delivered in the pub this evening.

Do not, under any circumstances, come home from a night out on the beers and decide that boiled eggs would make brilliant post-drinks food.

Especially do not do this if you are going to fall asleep with them boiling happily in the saucepan because when the last of the water evaporates the eggs will explode coating the whole of your kitchen in eggy mess that, if you do not clean off instantly, forms a tough coating that is very difficult to remove.

Particularly do not do this if you think that only a dozen eggs will be sufficient to satisfy your munchies.

Doesn't do the saucepan much good, either.

Uh-oh, has MW been a naughty boy?

This time I'm not guilty HC. Admittedly a group of us had been out drinking on the evening in question and the person who told the tale was a little worse for wear when we left him, but thankfully not my mistake ....

I am reliably informed, in a similar vein, that it is NOT a good idea to cook a Pork Chop in the toaster when one can't be arsed to put one under the grill.

Had to laugh. You went for cooking up eggs when half legless. Brave man. :)

Genuinely not me JH. Honest.

I can't give away too many details about who it was just in case they are recognised by someone who knows them.
