The message was not missed.... but (not that amazingly, I think) the hidden significance of

Is it like that game of remembering articles on a tray?

certainly passed me by, and I suspect others too!

[Flay]

Lots of things pass me by.

Last night there was a near disaster for Mr Flay, narrowly averted. Friends are coming to dinner tonight and Mrs Flay was cooking a masterpiece. Before she nipped out to the pub with The Girls she left me clear instructions that when the buzzer sounded I was to remove the meat and reduce the liquid by half before returning the meat to the pot and leaving it to cool. Simples...

All went well until the reduction stage. Unfortunately for me I became distracted doing AA. When I eventually remembered and dashed to the kitchen there was only a sizzling sludge adherent to the bottom of the cauldron! She was due back soon. Quick as a flash it was stirred up with some boiling water, decanted, the pan was scraped clean and all returned to the hob, taking care to swill some of the fearsome mixture around the sides of the pan to make it look as if it had been cooked normally.

I just hope it tastes OK

For this L please look at the whole thing, it is not individual clues: two brothers and a cousin from the Catholic Netherlands, one of whom moved to London

I hadn't been able to make head nor tail of Flay's little conundrum...

Welcome Oddball! I must say you have an ideal name to be on the AA thread! We're all a little odd one way or another here.

But no it isn't Limbourg. Nice try though. Try going forward about 300 years...

Well at least you were looking. Feel free to ask questions...

Now I must take a break to sort things. Mrs Flay asked me to chop up a red chilly. Easy! Then I popped for a wee after only giving my hands a cursory rinse...

The microscopic perspective on life chez Flay is, as ever, much appreciated...

Has your act of lèse-majesté with the meat juices, and the eking-out with washing-up water, been rumbled yet by



???????????

[Flay]

THAT'S HER!!! (On a quieter day)

No, she hasn't checked or sampled the cauldron yet...

lèse-majesté

Not 'arf!
