Someone gave me the keys to the Kingdom of the Grown-Ups!!!
Maybe I pre-empted this slightly by purchasing a shiny new kitchen appliance the other day… That’s quite an adult thing to do, right?? Okay, so it’s only a hand-blender, and the most basic hand-blender it’s possible to get but still. I was telling a friend about my new purchase and it turns out that her and her boyfriend also bought a hand-blender the other day. Only their one is multi-speed and comes with various attachments. It would appear that my hand-blender is the equivalent of the £5 vibrator one can acquire from the ‘naughty vend’ machines found in the toilets of certain drinking establishments, whereas theirs is the classic rampant rabbit (but not one of the new and improved fancy ones like The Thruster for example). In fact, my hand-blender cost LESS than a naughty vend vibrator. Me? Jealous? Never!
However, back on track, eh-hem. I still think that buying kitchen appliances that go beyond the very basic and necessary is a grown-up activity. Especially seeing as it was a consequence of my new found enjoyment of cooking. I’ve started to compile a cookbook of recipes found online. So far my firm favourite is an AMAZING aubergine bake. You can find the recipe here. It’s very easy but absolutely delicious!
But this is not my key to the Kingdom of the Grown-Ups. Oh no. It’s far more than that. I’m amazingly excited and scared and happy and WOW!!!!
And yes, this entire post has been about saying that one simple thing: Good things are happening that make for a happy Flip. Yay! =)
