Private Message to Claire Clearwater
Oh, bugger, Mum!
What do I do?
I got the afternoon off from Mr Powell, so I could come home and cook Percy supper for his birthday. Everything was going so well. I made the recipe perfectly, I swear, and then I put the roast in the oven.
And then Perce said he'd be later than we thought, so I turned the cooker down.
Well.
I thought I turned it down. I was sure I turned it down.
Are there any spells to un-crisp a roast? Only it's all sort of black. And dry.
And the potatoes are none too edible.
It's really rather a ruin, actually.
After I spent extra on the groceries this week, too, to get fresh broad beans and real butter and all his favourite extras.
Maybe next year we should just let his mum cook.
I mean, it's not like he'd have been home for that, either.
Oh, bugger it. I'm getting take-away.
