I’ve just been hauled over the coals by the Plans again – it seems I still don’t have the idea right about how I should present the Ausfood days.
And there I was thinking that I had pulled the days together with the order of meals set out quite clearly, the fresh produce vendors identified ad occasionally a hint about how the ingredients might have been put together.
Not good enough it seems. I have not set it out clearly enough and in the Approved Plan Manner.
I quoted Rhett Butler out loud – “Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. “
This was met with a quick intake of breath not unlike a snake hissing. A very large and malevolent snake.
At that I decided against making matters worse by moving to another Rhett Butler quote, which only occurred to me after the first one was spoken out loud. It’s the one about being very drunk and intending to get drunker before the evening’s out. The truth is I am as sober as a tee-total judge as I type this, but there is a chance that somewhere in the not-too-distant future those Plans will drive me to drink and I may well have occasion to trot out old Rhett’s quote and give it an airing.
So the end result of their badgering sees me going away like a naughty little school-girl and sitting in the corner while I set out some sort of template to make sure I follow The Approved Plan.
I have also made a sorry start to the ingredient list, an action also carried out with very, very bad grace on my part.
When you look you will see I am telling the truth. I need a good shaking for behaving so badly.
