Sausages and Mash

Just wanted to let you know a bit more about the Sausages and Mash restaurant we went to the other day. Firstly, for short it was called S&M which of course is the abbreviation for something a bit risque, found all this quite amusing. Also, for Valentine's Day they were offering a free sausage to anyone who whispered in the waitress's ear that they are single. Quite a good gimmick I think. I wonder how many singles at S&M hooked up this evening over a sausage!
Now for dinner on Friday night... Oh what a fright! We ate at Rosie's temporary flat which only has a microwave. You see, she is training with a travel company and they put all of the trainees up in temporary flats which are quite nice but don't have all the amenities one would appreciate. So, Rosie only has a microwave to cook with... we had tortellini mixed together with a bit of cream cheese and chive. The tortellini didn't quite come out according to plan so it was really nasty and stodgy and bland. No cream cheese in the world could have saved this. Also, we had it with white bread which made it even heavier and blander. At least it filled up our tummies for an evening of drinking in the local pub. Rosie apologised profusely because I think with a stove and oven she is probably quite a good cook. I guess we all learned that microwaves really weren't that advantageous to the human race! Hey, did we really really struggle without microwaves before they came on the market??? Our household has been without a microwave for well over two years and we certainly don't miss it. I think we need to get back in touch with how cooking used to be and forget about all the convenience foods. I urge you all to go out and buy some fresh food... now!!!
