Fuming Nitric .... (er, don't)
Mother digs up an old recipe, takes a tin of evaporated milk and chills it in the fridge, then boils it in a saucepan of water, then plans to continues with the recipe. I'd argue both steps are unnecessary - the heat treatment has been done in the canning factory, but anyway ....
Of course, today is Friday 13th, she's called away to something and the can has been boiled to death, saucepan boils dry. I now find I urgently need to source replacement filters for the John Lewis cooker hood and burner caps for the Neff hob, as they are both somewhat mangled from the rather loud explosion. Everything now is hard coated and smells of toffee.
This is gonna be fun ... I'm hoping these filters are a standard fitment John Lewis's supplier has bought from someone else.
