Andrew has been and gone..

and now the kitchen can recover from the indignities that were inflicted on it by Andrew during his visit.

Cheese sizzlers... not real food, pretend meat.

Chocolate Brownies that sadly, were contaminated with rum essence, dried cherries and marshmallows? Would not have scored highly in the Chocolate Brownie survey that Kyla did for a school project last year.

Microwave Big ben pie.... not proper food.

Andrew's taste in food seems to swing wildly between healthy Japanese and asian food and overly processed, um, junk?  He is very good at cooking asian food, and most of it was very tasty, even the anaemic worms (udon noodles).  The kids were not completely convinced about the Salmon roe however.  Just imagine what they would have thought if the kina had not been so expensive that we didn't buy any.  They even managed to munch their way through quite a bit of Salmon Sashimi which surprised us a little.

All in all he was reasonably well behaved while visiting, and the kids were sad to see him go (oh, and us too- He does dishes without being asked!!!).  They suggested that as he didn't have a job to go to, he may as well just stay here.  Hey, maybe he could be my cleaner?  

So, yes Andrew, you will be welcomed back again.
