Today's outing was enjoyable, but I think the interactivity of the "Nemo" displays in Holland had more educational value. Stephanie was chosen to participate in a demonstration thanks to her very aggressive hand waving and jumping up and down. All who wanted had a turn with their hand on the static electricity generator. (Sara had to work today, but hopes to join us for dinner tomorrow after our Toronto waterfront bike ride.)
Funnel cakes are so called because they are made using a funnel tool. The cake batter is poured from the bottom of a funnel directly into the deep fryer while waving the tool so as to form a spaghetti-like pile. The cake is then turned to cook the other side. It can be served with icing sugar, fruit, and whipped cream. The result is something that tastes like a greasy doughnut. See a close-up picture here.
Dear Jazz,
There are 7 pictures in your blog today. Four of them are directly associated with food, but who's counting. I hope you enjoyed the science museum, although Doug says the Nemo in Holland was more informative. Na-nana-na-nana! We have somethin that is MORE!. I love the picture of Stephanies hair under the influence of the static electricity generator. Imagine what it could do to a funnnel cake. Emma doesn't need one of these machines to look like this in the morning. I could not get to face-book yet to see Sara's pictures. Something to do with cookies in my computer. I shall send in a horde of voracious ants to remove them. I cannot believe the size of that breakfast. You will be going home soon (weep) so be careful not to incur excess weight charges at the airport.
I thought your mum's explanation about how Doug's Dad got his hand stuck behind the couch was very weak. He doesn't look like someone who would be scared of a mere dalek!
I think he was looking after someone's dog (dogsitting?), something small like a Jack Russel terrier. He ordered one of those dog leads from the internet, one that you can vary the length of, letting the dog run about 20 feet ahead and then pushing a button to wind in the slack as you catch up with dog again. Bit like fishing. You often piles of old ladies in the park, getting more and more entangled as dogs chase each other around them. Anyhoo, he had just got it out of the box and hooked up the dog and was reading the instructions. On the TV, Dr Who, having just defeated all the daleks, was surprised by gigantic Cyborgs. The scared dog took off and managed to squeeze itself in the very narrow gap between the wall and the back of the couch. In a moment of uncharacteristic carelessness, Pa pressed the button, and the mechanism wound in at the speed of a static generator, just as he read the bit 'The Mighty Mutt Manager, the worlds most powerful dog lead, can handle 6 St Bernards or an entire Husky sled team.' Well, the dog being fixed and firmly lodged behind the couch, there was only one other option, and Pa took of and went horizontal. Until he hit the wall and ended up with the dog, the Mighty Mutt Manager and his hand firmly stuck behind the couch. Well, it is possible, isn't it? Enough of this nonsense! I will see you in London soon, when I come over with Emma.
We have a big electric chip fryer, and now that we know the secret, funnel cakes will be forthcoming!
Love to everone.
Granddad.
Jasmin,
Your Grandfather has quite a sense of humour. How does he think of these stories! (I see where Sara gets it from.) I'm so glad I had an opportunity to meet you. Enjoy the rest of your time in Canada.

Hi Jazz
Stu-pid jumped into the crowd when he was evicted - the crowd moved away - HA!
The premiership has kicked off here at last so I've been having my usual saturday football fest - liverpool are facing sunderland in the late game which is about to start so I will let you know the result. You will be interested, I am sure, to learn that the mighty mighty bees have won four-nil. Grandad will have to eat his words .... or some cookies so he can see the photos.
cassie and Raz are going to Ruby and karim's engagement party tonight at 8pm - Cassie had a bath and then left here at 3pm to get ready at Emma's - apparantly that's how long it will take!
looking forward to seeing you again soon
mum

Before anyone else grabs my brilliant idea,I would like the world to know that I have just invented and promptly patented the new sensational taste experience:
Yorkshire Funnel Puddings.
Granddad
PS - Against whom, pray, did the 'Mighty Bees' win 4-0? Rumour suggests a Womens Institure water polo team from Skegness. Anyway, I am Bernadet on alternate fridays unless there is an 'R' in the funnel cake, and Spike at all other times, mostly.
Well Jazz
Spanish Wonder Boy Torres scored in the 83rd minute - giving liverpool the victory in what was otherwise a lack lustre game and bodes ill for the coming season. those expecting great things from a keane/torres striking partnership were left disapointed and keane was substituted 6 minutes before the final whistle.
please note that Brentford scored four - yes that's right - four - goals against Grimsby Town Womens Institute water polo team and not Skegness as was previously reported
