Jelly
Yesterday at work I was presented with a vacuum-formed Darth Vader face. There was one left over, you see, and they knew my son would love it. As I looked at it sat next to me on the desk, I wondered. Sadly it wasn't food grade plastic but what if I rinsed it out and lined it with cling film? It might just work...At home, I got to work. I measured the amount of water the mould contained - nearly four pints. I needed four packets of jelly. In the cupboard were... four packets of jelly. This was meant to be!
I mixed up the jellies; a captivating culinary cocktail of lemon, raspberry and tropical fruit flavours.
Carefully I poured the liquid jelly into the mould. Even more carefully I carried it to the fridge, where I left it to set for 24 hours.
Time to turn out the jelly - on goes the plate.
There was a 'squelch' as I turned it over. Fingers crossed!
I took the mould off and there he was!
Weevil Junior piles in with his spoon. None of your 'use the forks, Luke' nonsense for him.
'mmf mmmmmf mmmf'. Sorry Lord Vader, I can't hear you what with your mouth having been spooned off.
