A Tale From Euph's Real Life

Well, let me start my tale with an explanation.
My wonderful, caring, and loving parents decided to swan off for 2 weeks in Corfu this summer. In doing so they left my brother and I (he is 20) NO money, NO food, NOTHING to drink and wereleft to fend for ourselves.
So, priorities being priorities we took a trip to the shop and stocked up on the life-source.. carling black label.. at a measly £15 for 24 it seemed a waste of a trip only to buy one.

Upon our return home, we decided to use the fridge to keep our beers cold.. of course, being day 1 food wasnt a problem, so out went the half finished can of corned beef, out went the half finished carton of asda own brand OJ. The two packs of backen got turned into 2 very nice toasted sandwiches, and anything else that was in the way got donated to the dog.

So, happy with our little shopping trip.. and our 96 cans of England's finest lager we decided it was time to eat. McDonalds was fine, so for 2 days we lived on McDonalds and other such delicacies.
Obviously, this became a bit tedious and our .. solids? were passing through in a most bizarre state. So a spelunking trip to the .. dun dun dun ... cupboard under the cooker was organized.

After donning the appropriate safety equipment .. 1 leather motorcycle glove, one scarf (rambo style) and one lambert and butler smoking away to guide the rescue planes, the trip commenced.
Amazingly it produced approximately six 1/4 full bags of ceral, about 5 cans of curry 3 full cases (1 of assorted flavous of butchers tripe. 1 box of dog biscuits, a half eaten piece of bread ( -.- ) and a 4 pack of heinz baked beans.

Anyway.. overjoyed at our find we sat back and relaxed for a few days. Subsidising our canned food and cereal diet with things such as pork scratchings, bacon fries, crisps and.. lager (not to mention the occasional guinnes as it is law not to walk past a pub without accepting its hospitality). We survived for at least 3 more days.

Well, now things start to get desperate.

There's no food in the house!

So, being responsible, mature and amazingly talented dancers, my brother and I take a trip down to everyones favourite cheapo food outlet: quiksave! I can not recall what he bought, but my list consisted of beer,cigarettes, cola, a kelloggs variety 8 pack, a pot noodle (chow mein flavour) and a packet of quavers.

So, this bought us up to friday morning. With friday, saturday, sunday and monday remaining i decided that once again, a bit of cave exploring was in order.

This time, the target was the freezer! However, being incredibly manly (and owing also to the fact that i had not washed any clothes) I decided that boxer shorts and flip flops were suitable clothing for the sub-zero temperatures.
I managed to dig out (with my bare hands) the ice scraper and proceeded to hack away chunks of ice to see what was lurking in the depths.

I bashed my way through a piece of frozen haddock, a sausage and ....some other random food items .. including raspberry sorbet.

Well, delightedly I happened upon some bbq chicken wings. However they were USE BY DEC 03. (even if they were frozen) So, they flew into the black bag lying by my feet.

Now, however, things started to get interesting. Under the ice shelf, there lay food! My goodness, preserved throughout the ages like some sort of prehistoric beast.

At least 4 bags of chipped potatoes with a handful of frozen chips per bag.. 3 bags of sausages with 1 sausage per bag (assorted types), 3 bags of peas with various levels of pea in them..one was frozen solid in a "U" shape, and as such went into the big bag in said "U" shape.

And then.. the holy grail itself. A 4 - pack of birds eye beefburgers (80% beef!) So, jumping with joy I hot-footed it over to the grill and whacked the beauty on to full blast.

Sadly, after around 3 minutes of hacking with my ice chisel at the burgers, they remained stuck together with eons of years of ice build up. So, being very sober and rational at the time, they went under the grill as a whole unit. Then, opened the 1 remaining can of beans, slapped it in a bowl and whacked the old zapper on full blast for 3 minutes.

I then emptied the remains of the freezer contents .. loose chips, peas, some sort of pie, an ice lolly and a white choc ice (that hurt my teeth) and began the process of removing items from the ironing board and replacing them in the freezer. Well that, as you can imagine took all of hmm.. 3 seconds?

So, I checked my burgers, and after a bit of gentle urging from the ice chisel they split into 4 individual burgers. Replacing thrm under the grill I decided to go and play a computer game.

Well.. 30 minutes later I remembered my burgers. So, off to the kitchen we go, on full powered run... at least until the door, whereby i turned round and grabbed a t-shirt to hold over my mouth.

The smoke, was, well, thick? And it took a moment for my bleary eyes to work out why. After pulling the grill from the cooker and jumping back from the towering mass of flames I realised that perhaps this was a little too literal of an interpretation of flame grilled. So, remembering at least one thing from home economics i found the nerest tea towel and wet it under the tap and gently placed (placed not threw like a girl while cowering behind the door!) the tea towel over the inferno.

With just a few mug fulls of water to keep the towel wet the fire soon went out. Looking at the burgers I was pleasantly surprised. They were a bit black, but still edible!

So, using my half tin of cold baked beans as a base, and the burnt burgers as a topping I made myself a fabulous meal for one!
Anyway, that was yesterday, and today i decided, at last, to go and buy myself some real food. So, off to the local ember inns goes I, 3 pints of Irelands finest guinness and one EXTRA RARE steak (they said they would make it bleu as an exception (and boy was it rare.. mm mmm a good vet could have bought it back to life).

Then, realising the error of my ways I also bought myself a jar of nescafe to keep me alive until my parents return home and make a trip to tesco and save my life.
Anyway... I suppose it's better than 2003 where I managed to give myself alcohol poisoning =[)
And that's the end.
