and I had to explain there was nobody else there and I was talking to an over-active pan of boiling jam.

"It is her birthday, a big one, and I will make her those cheesy crackers we all love so much, but she will have to wait because it is 29 DEGREES IN MY KITCHEN RIGHT NOW and GOD HIMSELF could not make pastry in 29 degrees..."
