(not really - it's just me messing about in the kitchen)
Never one for cooking, imagine my surpise when I found something I like to do in the Kitchen - apart from eating....
Those who know me well, would cringe at the idea of me let loose in the kitchen with dye, wooden spoons and jam jars. They would raise their eyebrows, smirk and tell you all about the time when I just happened, this one time...... to accidentally detonate some boiled eggs by boiling them dry.
Terribly annoying to be habitually reminded of my eggy faux pas, but not half as annoying as scraping a couple of boiled eggs off the kitchen ceiling - that was no fun at all. Add to that the need to calm a particularly nervous house guest who thought a bomb had gone off in the kitchen when they exploded - we can conclude that Angela (that is me...)is not a great cook, with the attention span of cricket and whilst she may have the technical ability to work the cooker, she prefers not to.
So - why in God's green earth did I find myself, in the kitchen, armed with wooden spoon, saucepan and jam jars last weekend.
I discoved Kool Aid.
What is Kool Aid I hear you ask, especially if you are british - as we don't get it over here. Well, I answer, it is a powdered drink mix (don't inhale the powder they said), but apparently it is ok to drink it (go figure......)
You add sugar and water to make, a non alcoholic, cool drink (not particularly familiar with these - except perhaps as mixers), but more even more interesting than making cool drinks, it colours wool beautifully.
Don't ask me why or how, I just know it does. And I loved it....
Here is photographic proof that I didn't wreck the kitchen and managed to produce some funky colours - that I promoptly turned into an elephant. (Because thats just what I do... make lots of elephants).
I have yet to decide what to do with the other colourful magnificance that is the other 50 grams...
I shall sit and ponder.
