To an all girls Catholic school to help with a BBQ for 750—anyone want to hazard a guess as to who was out in the first hot day of the year turning hotdogs, burgers chicken, mystery meat kebabs and the odd vegetarian? Shit! I have sunburn on the back of my neck that will stop me wearing my necktie for days. Leftovers could be taken home, I snagged about 4 pounds of tiny Jersey Royal potatoes—the chef wanted to know why I had no sausages and burgers. I was going to tell her that I didn’t want to end up with a buffalo butt like hers but decided instead to be diplomatic and explained that they were the only decent food in the house. She wasn’t impressed by my subtlety and tact.
