THE CHOCOLATE WHO STOLE THE CHILLI!

She laced it heavily with a strong mix of Szechuan pepper, chilli and ginger plus she poured a goodly helping of Langams Ginger and Chilli sauce into the middle before doing the final roll.

'IT' was a full sized chocolate salami and the reason it was being made as a savoury one was they, aka Goaty mum and she, had not had their monthly helping of sinus blasting Malaysian Dumplings at Marylebone's Farmer's Market.

So trundlng off down to Parson's Green she went, and had a couple of horrid sad thoughts along the way which made her quite 'queer' and as there hasn't been NOT even one speck of blue sky to be seen for at least three days, she got very low indeedy.

So low, that she told Goaty mum her thoughts and got the crisp, speedy response of "Don't be stupid, you can't do that, take her to the vet asap".

Anyway, she produced the silver wrapped sausage of salami and, although, it was actually for all the dairy fairies back home, they HAD to do a quality control, didn't they?

And that was when she discovered that the dark chocolate had stolen the taste of chilli!

Who knew! She didn't, there wasn't even a hint of it, so they had another slice in the hope that further in there might be some chillies lurking, no, still no chillies to be found, most curious. So they decided the only way would be to roll the salami in chillies and to blow their socks off that way!

Crikey, I am glad she doesn't experiment on my taste buds like this!

We've baked three of those delicious orange cakes this afternoon, one's gone up the road to a friend, one will go with her tomorrow's weigh-in, it's their Christmas party, she said she'd bring a non-gluten, fat free cake and one is going out as a surprise tomorrow.

The flat smells of spices and citrus, a GREAT smell at any time and especially on a winter's day.

I shall have to watch her with a beady eye.. for I can't be having her having sad thoughts.. for there's enough sadness in the world without it being in our home as well.

GeeGee Parrot.
