Drop it from a height !
The Mad One (my 11 month younger sister) was completely unable to cook when she got engaged to the Farmer. I decided that the marriage would soon come to an end if I did not do something to improve her culinary skills. I bought her Delia Smiths Complete Cookery as an engagement present and it proved ( in my humble opinion) to be the best gift she or the Farmer ever received. Once married, and realising that faremers don't come home a 6pm each evening, she took to Delia with a vengeance and through careful exact recipe following, became an incredibly competent cook. Much to my disgust, she has far surpassed me in his field, but the sisterly competitive nature in my is always looking to get one up on her. I used her phone today to call the Horsey One, to advise her of my blog, hoping I might entice another follower. She happily declared she would "follow me to the end of the net" and promised to check it out that evening.At that point she finished the chat by asking me to tell the Mad One that her first ever cake had turned out a treat thanks to the Mad Ones suggestion to "drop it from a height"???? What an earth did you tell her to do I enquired of the Mad One. "Oh, I told her to drop her sponge in the baking tin onto the tiled floor" she replied. "Why would you suggest that" I asked to which she said " so your sponge it doesn't sink ". With great delight, I looked at her and said "Mine never does" ....the pure joy of getting one up on your little sister....priceless !
