The curious incident of the milk in the afternoon

[spyderfyngers]

Act one: In which Verity and Gabriel attempt a simple household task.

V: I wants me tea.
G: Agreed. To the kitchen!
V: Alas! We have no milk.
G: I saw some in the freezer. Let's use that.
V: But it's a block of milk-flavoured ice.
G: *puts the bottle of milk in the microwave*
V: Won't that kill us?
G: Meh. *cranks up the dial*

Some time later:

Microwave:

*flails madly* The things I miss-! XD

...Verity. VerityVerityVerity can you unlock this a tiny little bit so I can show it to Pepper? Pleeeeease? :D? She doesn't bite, I promise ...well, not much... and this would just make her squee like mad. *chibi eyes?*

[spyderfyngers]

Oh, go on then. :) Maybe my mad stalkers won't notice.

[hils]

Oh my god! *falls off chair laughing*

Your milk related adventures have cheered me up no end

[spyderfyngers]

Thankyou, I'm glad our kitchen nightmares have some positive purposes.

I really want to see this on stage, with a live human playing the milk (although I suppose a dead human would add an element of realism).

Oddly, in the states our #1 brand of tape is Scotch, which I have not seen once in Scotland.

[spyderfyngers]

Ha! Brilliant. I want Patrick Stewart to play the milk.

Having lived in Scotland, I can reliably inform you that most things common to the civilised world won't be found there. Especially sunshine. ;)

[snakey]

Couldn't it be argued that "sellotape", like "hoover", "kleenex" (in the states) "biro"/"bic", has become a generic term? :D

[snakey]

And thus doesn't require a capital, I mean.

[spyderfyngers]

A very good point. I wonder if The Boy is taking note...

[sistermorticia]

It cheers me up that I am not the only one who lacks expertise in the kitchen and relies on Sellotape, kitchen roll and convenient (if unconventional) utensils to creatively accomplish what needs to be done. (Well, how would I know that one can't make tomato soup with Ketchup?!) I like the cut of that Boycreature's jib!

Thank god for microwave technology, boil in the bag and pointy knives!!! :o)

When can we look forward to The Hollow Kitchen on Channel 4?

[spyderfyngers]

You know, the milk is still frozen. We had to buy a new bottle.

Oh, that would be interesting. I can't imagine Gordon Ramsey bellowing "cease your infernal sizzling, you wretched vulgarian of a sausage!"

[sistermorticia]

But it would be jolly if he did!
