BAD HOUSEKEEPING

* * * * * *

Ironing? - don't fucking do it. Buy things that don't need ironing or wear a few creases out, you won't catch anything unless you live in a country with bugs that need a hot squashy kill before you put your clothes on. Iron and your clothes crumple as you wear them, don't iron and your creases disappear as the day goes on. Standing around rubbing a piece of hot, heavy metal over cloth? Fuck that, go out to play!

Dusting?

Can't be arsed to do it that often, and not allergic to dush?

Then either buy a glass fronted display case which saves picking your knick-knacks up to dust them, or put things on high shelves so that visitors can't see how filthy they are.

Recipes

Toothrot Tingler

This is the most refreshing drink of the summer. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a long tumbler. Take a can of chilled-ice cold cola (hence the toothrot) of your preferred brand and pour it on top. Hey presto, you have made a Toothrot Tingler.

The repulsive sickly sweetness of cola and the refreshing bitterness of the lemon neutralize each other to produce something drinkable. Don't put ice in it, why water down an already cold drink? Have it fizzy instead, hence the tingle... Dead classy with alcohol too...

p.s. a newspaper story recently said that a top brand of cola were losing out to lemon flavoured drinks. the point that many people have reduced their sugar intake is lost on people who employ marketing teams. they need to get on a fucking bus and ask people what to do. I mean, take an exceedingly sweet brand of cakes, they should introduce a "Ms. K" range for people who have to scrape the ice-berg thick sweet gunk of icing off cherry bakewells to actually be able to taste the bakewell...

Diet Fried Bread

While the fat (use as little as possible) is hot and getting ready for an egg to fry in it, use the flat spatula thing to wipe oil over one side of your bread, then place it on the grill and wipe oil over the other side.

Instead of frying the bread in the oil which it soaks up, grill it. You get the fried taste with half the fat!

Diet Pork Scratchings

You need to be at home to prepare this recipe as it requires you use a dinner knife.

Scratchings are made of the crackling (pork skin) and the layer of lardy soft fat that got baked at the same time.

Using the dinner knife, remove the soft fat from the crispy skin and discard it. Again, half the fat!

Hoovering is something that should be done only when your carpet looks like it needs it. It's possible to be clean and tidy without wasting your life on a space that will need cleaning and tidying how ever often you do so do it less and play more.

fucking tidy enough that is...Above information from
