For those of you, who, like me have a bit of trouble getting around to cleaning the kitchen floor on a regular basis, here is my recipe for Blackcurrant Fool and Haircuts what I did today:
Ingredients:
1 husband in dire need of haircut
broom, dustpan and brush
500g blackcurrants
175g sugar
20cl double cream
1 pot natural yogurt
mop, floor cleaner and bucket
Method:
1. Take one not super-clean kitchen floor. (Actually, on this occasion, I cleaned it only about a week ago, so it really wasn't in desperate need of re-doing).
2. Finally get around to cutting husbands hair in kitchen.
3. Due to length of husband's hair there is now lots all over the kitchen floor. This unfortunately necessitates use of broom, dustpan and brush. After sweeping decide that floor is ok-ish and can go without another mopping so soon after last occasion.
4. Decide to make Blackcurrant Fool. Put blackcurrants in a pan with a little water and cook until mushy (potato masher useful here). When mushed up, add the sugar and stir until dissolved.
5. Push blackcurrant mix through a seive with a wooden spoon (into a bowl of course).
6. As you are tipping the remaining contents of the sieve that won't go through it into the bin, drop the wooden spoon that you were holding in the other hand onto the kitchen floor, thus spraying blackcurrant mix all over floor, fridge, cupboards and jeans.
7. Carry on with recipe, will clean up mess in a bit.
8. As it is below frezeing outside, put bowl outside to cool blackcurrant mix.
9. Pour the cream into another bowl.
10. As you go to put the carton of cream into the bin, ensure that you completely miss the bin, thus carton lands on floor and sprays cream all over floor, fridge, cupboards and jeans.
11. Carry on with recipe, will clean later.
12. Whisk cream and then stir in yogurt.
13. Stir in cooled blackcurrant mix. Transfer to a pretty glass bowl and put in fridge for a bit.
14. Finally face up to reality re: kitchen floor and admit defeat. Fetch mop and bucket, fill with floor cleaner and hot water and clean kitchen floor.
15. Eat blackcurrant fool. Bloody gorgeous!
