A truly spiritual and harrowing moment this evening. I'm in the house alone and dishing up my tea. The squeeze ketchup is empty enough so that it won't squirt, but not so empty that it's time to throw it away yet. I unscrew the lid, hold the bottle at the correct angle to shake out the remaking sauce in small, controllable blobs. I shake the bottle. The first, tiny, watery dribbles fall out. Then, suddenly, a big splodge splats onto a chip towards the edge of my plate. I back off, let's not peak to early on the sweep around my plate. I shake the bottle again, another large lump drops. On the very same chip! Coincidence? Yes. Enlightening? No. I now become more aggressive shaking the bottle, aware that there is now not much ketchup remaining, when suddenly, the last dollop flies free.........right in the centre of the self same, soggy, saturated chip. There is no more sauce. It is all there in one congealing scarlet morass. I'm now in the cupboard writing this. If anybody finds this last note, watch the shelves. Beware of bottles that spend their lives upside down. We are not alone.
Thats it. Definately. Wax crayons for ken from now on. Absolutely no sharp objects. So, er, that means i'll have to confiscate the 'blade'.
You really are having a bad day mate, remind me to sit as far away from you if we are going for dinner in Oulton. I haven’t had a problem with house haunted but our fridge is. I have had our little Soy sauce pot move all by its self from the back of the top shelf in the fridge and tip its self over covering everything in fridge below with the bloody stuff. Not once but twice. Fcuking annoying as its me that ends up spending hours cleaning the mess up. AND the Maltesers keep disappearing. Now that’s spooky
That is spooky , because I keep finding maltesers underneath the furniture when I'm hoovering. For years I thought we had a rabbit infestation. Funny thing is, they all stink of sweet and sour.....
If they smell of sweet and sour they are not ours. L won't cook it says its only for uneducated brits with no taste Sent from my BlackBerry 9800 using Tapatalk
Always always have at least 2 emergency sources of ketchup in the house. That's like going out on the blade without your lid and leathers. No haunting there but a massive schoolboy error running out of ketchup!
I see. Thank you Phantom. There was a spare in the fridge though. I was just being tight and recognised that there were 3 spare dollops that were missing the nozzle for the squirter. Exactly a chip plate amount. This is why I removed the squirty lid to start with. You must, of course always keep a spare Worcestershire sauce bottle as it continues to ferment, or cure, or whatever it does, after it's been bottled, so while one bottle is in use, the spare is growing ever more potent in the back of the larder. A rep from Lea & Perrins told me that.
