Percy Poser strikes again!

I usually do a lot of the prep and pre-cooking for the lunch at home andhe heats it up and serves it, like he was doing on the day Fred died, but, because he is wearing a tall hat, he is known to be a very good cook!

A box has just been delivered and it comes from Nisbits. I think it might be balloon whisks. He doesn't keep much sense in that tall titfer.

Oh yes, his cook's hat. There is another point.

Last month we cooked the village lunch, in the church hall, in the little kitchen.

My OH, who is 6'8", wore his old whites, which was fine, but did he have to put a tall chefs hat on top of 6'8" in a little church hall?

Although we have not yet resolved the sandwich toaster dispute, we are also looking to invest further huge sums in kitchen equipment.

As I always put soup through a sieve if I make it I need a fairly open holed sieve but the set that came from Aldi are very fine and good for draining jellies without the use of muslin. The old sieve, having given many moons of service, is a bit holey, so I am looking to invest in some more sieves and. while I am at it, I think I might replace the balloon whisks that are going rusty as well.

Because I regard them as consumables, I have been looking at a set of three sieves in Wilkinsons for three pounds and considering buying some more fifty- five pence balloon whisks although better ones would not be out of the question.

With his mind still confused by his longing for a new sandwich toaster, OH has his beak in the Nisbett's catering supplies catalogue where sieves start at seven pounds each and balloon whisks at fourteen. Yeh, right.
