Say NO to dinner with Drunk people!

July 23rd 2008 03:08
I get paid on Wednesdays, so generally (with my lack of savings skills) I am dirt poor by the time it comes to planning dinner on Tuesday nights. To my dismay four of my friends decide to tell me late Tuesday afternoon that they would be coming over for that dinner and drinks we’d been planning for ages. I am such a carb lover and gold old spag bol never ceases to impress a crowd of people, it doesn’t dint the wallet and takes about 15 minutes to make, so alas that would be on menu.
I must admit until last night (Tuesday) I have never had a more eventful time cooking spag bol. As I am a full time worker, and the four friends that were visiting are uni students of holidays, they had the pleasure of starting their evening drinks about 5 hours before me. Not to self, drunk friends are the worst company for dinner when you are happily sober and be no means in the mood to join them in their binge.

Firstly cutting carrots, onions, garlic & mushrooms proves to be quite tough when people are standing around waiting to pinch whatever you have just shopped. Secondly, I have never realised that if you don’t include tomato’s even if the sauce is a tomato based sauce, the spag bol is below par. Thirdly, do not let someone intoxicated believe they are the next Gordon Ramsey and encourage then to do the saucepan flip manoeuvre, unless eating of the floor is a favourite past time of yours.
Basically the reason for this blog is simple; I have never valued a saying as much as I do today. Too many chef’s in the Kitchen! Now whoever came up with that is a genius and deserves some sort of reward. No kitchen is big enough for 4 yapping uni student, basking in their uni breaks.
As for the saying, many hands make light work. More like many hand make slight migraine.
