Mini Christmas Crisis

Sister Flowerpower and I went over to see Mother Flowerpower today to have lunch and help with preparations for tomorrow. We had a good old natter and then put the hob on to make spaghetti bolognese. This was when we discovered she'd run out of gas. Both cylinders were empty and the gas/oil company told us they had closed for Christmas on their helpful message.

All of this would not have mattered if Mother Flowerpower wasn;'t hosting the festivities tomorrow. So all the Flowerpowers stood in the kitchen, scratched our heads and tried to work out a solution. One phone call to D later and the problem was solved thanks to her suggestion of using my steamer for the veg.  I think we are going to try to make microwave gravy and sauces.

It is going to be an exercise in initiative and creative thinking.
