CopyCat

The photocopier fixer is here and he's just given me a big long spiel about how bad our paper is for the printer and I spent the whole time imagining him back at Copier Fixer Headquarters bitching to his workmates about people who use "dusty" paper and try and get half-used sheets of labels through the thing... God, people just have NO idea do they! A photocopier is a fine piece of machinery that should be treated with the respect it deserves - you wouldn't try and run your car on coke would you??

My plans for friday? A Cook-off. I have been invited to judge in a dessert competition. The theme; chocolate. And who indeed would be more qualified to decide such matters? I'm heaps looking forward to it, there's been sledging flying around between the competitors all week and it sounds like they are both going for gold. There really can be no losers in a situation where there are TWO fantastic chocolate desserts on the horizon can there? I have to bring the vego dish since with the proposed menu comprising of oysters and steak it didn't seem likely that any non-meat dishes would be very inspired. My planned contribution?.. A carrot and pesto bake. And a fair amount of wine...
