Recipes for Disaster

I made these cookies from the “Recipes for Disaster” cookbook. Strangely enough, though, they turned out okay.

These are the least helpful microwave cooking instructions I’ve ever seen on cream of mushroom soup. They basically say, “Dump the soup in an appropriate vessel and heat it for a bit.” Hey, thanks.

I tried to make three-cheese tarts, but something went HORRIBLY wrong. Plus my kitchen now looks like a crime scene.

The Rugby World Cup final between England and South Africa was held on Saturday night. We watched it at my place with Philippa (in honor of England) and some South African wine (in honor of South Africa). It took me until the next day to figure out what was very weird about this wine. How long will it take you?

Bill and Dennis – the original ‘mauvais garcons’ were in New York, and they saw this fab exhibit at MOMA and, naturally enough, immediately thought of Design Flaws!

Ali and I were at Cat’s fantabulously tiny new apartment to watch the rugby match between New Zealand and France. I asked hundreds of stupid questions about the rules, but nobody got mad at me! France plays England next; it’s no laughing matter!
