Crime and pun-ishment

Masterchef (BBC2): Sarah’s police training means she’s focused and immediately takes to the kitchen environment.

Glad to see our boys and girls in blue are getting the training they need.

I take it the kitchen uses copper pans.

I wonder if they take truncheon vouchers.

(Lap ‘em up chaps, these are the jokes.)

Carolyn cooks a pie

Carolyn in an online chat the week before last (what can I say, I’ve been busy):

I was in a hurry the other night and wanted to give everyone an early tea. Howard always gives me a hard time about not planning ahead, so, I ‘planned’ to have chicken pie, potatoes and veg.

So, very organised, I switched on the oven and put in the pie, set the potatoes in the microwave and chopped the veg. An hour later, I opened the oven and the pie was gone!

I eventually found it in the other oven. I didn’t want to own up so I threw it in the microwave where it all collapsed and back in the oven in a few bits so that I could take it out in an ‘organised’ fashion!
