  1. We lived in a lovely victorian house with high ceilings and an open plan kitchen. The table was opposite the cooker with several friends sitting around it chatting happily. The dessert was going to be bananas in brandy with cream. I usually only cooked bananas in butter and sugar. I heated the brandy and whoosh - I don't know where the flames came from! It silenced the table chatter. As I shook the pan frantically I remember looking up to the ceiling and thinking just act normally - thank god for high ceilings! I returned to the table not realising my eyebrows were missing!!!! Another "foo pah" was when I was only 17. A very naieve 17 year old. I had purchased very recently from a jumble sale a lovely white porcelain, unusually shaped pan with a very long handle with what I thought was a hole through it to let the steam out... I remember the gasps to this day as I put it on the table. Was my food really that good? It was a long time after when I was reminded about the time when I put a bed pan on the table....... Talk about cringe!
