I'm so annoyed because he showed the first French cream whisking close up when it was perfect and I was thinking that he needs to stop the machine right now or it will go over. Of course it went to sh!t and he blamed the cream! It's never his fault, is it? And then he got different cream from his mother and whisked it into butter again.

I know - it was cream issues all round - anxiety from me that cakes in Aga's cook quickly as the bloody thing is on for hours and temps get tricky. Mind you - the baking Gods got me this morning. Made a blue berry cake - forgot I had added the berries in Thermo - notice it looked a bit dry added some almond milk and well - hit blend. Result a blue cake - actually cooked to a greenish blue. That got a few laughs at farm morning tea!

Wouldn't that be a million dollar vlog, ruining expensive ingredients on camera?
Back in the olden days, when the Shah was in charge, the Iranians used to send one-pound tins of caviar to people they wished to bribe. My office was one. We had really strict bribery protocols. We were allowed to accept such gifts if we consumed it on the premises. So we prised open our tins of food we'd never be rich enough to buy ourselves, with old felt tip pens, put it on the receptionist's desk, and ate it all.
With coffee stirrers.

I think Anna must have learned a few things from Marie telling her own life story.

My Girlfriend just remarked that if Marie is looking for any future subjects, she can interview her on how she managed to get PIP.

That’s a real success story.
