I had the repeat of the tomato ketchup murder scene in the kitchen the other day with the ketchup. Except I was sat outside a restaurant and giving free entertainment for onlookers.
I squeezed the corner of the sachet with my teeth and duly sprayed tomato/🍅 sauce my T shirt and shorts with tomato ketchup.
So I washed them in the shower and left them overnight on the hotel balcony on a plastic seat to dry and of course they didn't dry, and we had to walk round the corner to a launderette, to pay 3 Euros to dry them for 18 minutes.
We even walked to a supermarket to pass the time and there was still 9 minutes left to watch the dryer spin.
Then one day last week we sat outside a cafe bar and J ordered an ham and cheese toasty with chips and I had a Club sandwich and J had a glass of house wine and I had a large beer or Super Bock.
The condiments came with a pair of scissors. I have seen the future and it's not garlic bread!
Darned clever those Portuguese folk.
ReplyDeleteAren't they just JayCee? Like the inventor of sliced bread and the clever man or woman who owns the Internet 🤔😊.
DeleteThat has happened to me with tomato ketchup sachets. They can be a bugger to open. By the way - Where are you? I don't remember you saying you were going away.
ReplyDeleteClever people, I dislike those little sachets, they struggle again you too much.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem opening the wrapping on biscuits. I am in West Cork in Ireland YP. I thought you knew that? Seriously we went to Portugal for a week.
ReplyDeleteThose little individual butter sachets also annoy me Marlene.
ReplyDeleteI cannot do those sachets either and when they are all that is available for sauce I have to go without. Fortunately Wetherspoons put the whole bottle out as you will know. I am assuming you had a great time in Portugal and looked at lots of good things for gardening, life, eating and drinking, music and had a good time. Thanks Dave.
ReplyDeleteThey are very annoying Rachel. Yes I can't praise Wetherspoons enough. Portugal blessed us with sunshine (20 degrees) some days. The Portuguese people were polite and kind like they always are. I would love to live there especially in Winter Rachel. Thanks.
DeleteI invested in a very small pair of folding scissors a couple of years ago. Mine were for vinegar sachets though---- to save stinging eyes!! You can pick them up for about 99p. Pollie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea Pollie. I will look out for some. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou should try hospital peach and pear fruit pots.
ReplyDeleteAre they awkward also Tasker?
ReplyDeleteThat's the sort of thing I do. How the hell are you supposed to open those packets if you don't use your teeth.
ReplyDeleteCan't see them providing scissors in other countries. They're dangerous weapons nowadays
What's wrong with a bottle of ketchup or brown sauce Linda? They could provide plastic scissors? Maybe or not.
