Your secret is safe with me EO as long as half of the crackling is in the post by tomorrow.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostWe had a barby yesterday, so put the sunday roast on hold. We had home made burgers and some kebabs on a stick, a load of ale and it was a great day in the garden.
So this am the missus puts the pork joint in the oven and tells me to get it out at 12.
Then she toddles off to go shopping.
So I gets the joint out at noon, and puts it in the micrwave to keep the cats off it, then I gets one of yesterdays home-made left-over burgers, ties a bit of string around it (to make it look like a mini joint) then sticks it back in the oven.
So the missus gets back from the shopping ten minutes ago, realises the oven is still on, drops the shopping bags and pulls this minute smoking burger-stump out of the oven
looks like I 'll be sleeping on the couch tonight
