desperanceWe peeped under our cooker's outer clothing, and she's been sulking ever since. The front two burners refuse to burn. Oops...
And of course it's yogi night tonight, and the nice gas repairman can't get here until tomorrow. No matter! I have two functional burners, a barbecue grill and a working oven. Yogis can be catered datively, to and for. Also, we have a fuckton (this is a scientific measure, yes) of apricots, courtesy of Berry and Alene, who boast I think three mature apricot trees in their orchard. So I have baked an apricot and boysenberry cake, which I shall serve with apricot puree. Prior to that, there will be smoked pork from the barbecue, with warm broccoli salad and fresh sourdough bread and an apricot chutney, which blessedly turns out to be disappointingly mild for my taste. (Why is this blessed, you ask, bewildered? Why, because it means I can make another batch tomorrow with rather more chillies in it. And apricot jam. And apricot anything else I can think of or you suggest. I have just despatched a hefty load of the best of them to a friend with a dehydrator, because dried apricots are awesome.)
