Yesterday, Nigel’s robustly attuned olfactory perception temporarily lured him away from his duties with Cook in the school kitchen counting wooden ice cream spoons and lead him instead into the Food Technology Room where the girls were making Swiss Rolls……
It was another one of Nigel’s
many awe and wonder experiences …..
…. where he is totally overwhelmed by the breath taking activities that are going on around him.
When one of the young ladies asked if he would like to assist her in the rolling of her Swiss Roll Nigel was beside himself, so much so that he could only nod his afirmative response like an over enthusiastic puppy!
….. With eyes as big as saucers ….. and listening with all due diligence, Nigel rolled the cooked sponge with a hand so deft, it was sheer poetry to watch. The teacher, on seeing his efforts said that Nigel “….. showed a natural aptitude for the art of Swiss Roll rolling” and added that his “lightness of touch was indeed perfection!”
Nigel’s help was thus generously rewarded … with
several slices of traditional Swiss comestible ….
….. plus all the sponge trimmings that were left over ….
….
perhaps Nigel has a talent that we should
exploit encourage further … and consider entering him in the next years Great British Bake Off ….. Paul Hollywood had better look out me thinks!

Billy Bunter strikes again! But the lightness of hand is very impressive I must admit.
ReplyDeleteHank and Marvin say 'Hi' - and Marcel has been on a couple of cruises with Abi, he's becoming something of a seafarer.
Hugs, Di xx
Careful Nigel doesn't get too close to the action and gets rolled up into the cake.
