Pity about the suitcase, but so long as he is home safely.

Home, with a ripped open suitcase.

Keeping a stock pot going is fine for a professional chef, but not so practical for a housewife.

I used to buy two chickens and make chicken stock regularly, but the bought stuff is so good, I just don't bother any more. Not sure what would be available to you in Malaysia, but I am sure in Oz there must be good stock.

By the way, is your husband home yet Glenda? I keep hearing more news about Bangkok.

Never mind, Glenda. It’s the Artistic Temperament. That’s my excuse, anyway, and I have no actual proof of having any ability at all to write books. However, I have great faith in your ability to turn out that trilogy.

My first husband, BTW, was a chef. He quickly realised that not only couldn’t I cook, but I had no interest in learning, either. However, he did manage to impress two things on me – always clean as you go and always, always, keep a stock pot going. I’ve tried to follow his advice but little good has it done me:-)

Happens to us all Glenda. At least you can write books. Think of all the other poor souls who have nothing much with which to exercise their brains and no idea what to do about it.

That'll teach you to buy prepared beef stock LOL. I buy the liquid in packets these days, its so easy. Its always there and keeps forever.
