Sympathy please, no laughing
Last week I bought a new food processor and today I decided to test it's various functions. I thought I'd start with the jug blender as I was going to make an orange and mango mousse. Got the jug on the machine base, put in the oranges and mangoes, pressed the button and away it went. I had a big jug full of pureed fruit. Then came the disaster, I took the jug off without the base of the jug...........out came all the pureed fruit at the bottom of the jug. What a mess, it was everywhere. It was running down the base of the machine like a waterfall, it was running off the work surface and down the cupboard doors, it was on the floor, it was on me, it was a MESS.It's taken me well over an hour to clean everything, including the machine. It made more mess than when the bottom dropped out of a cake tin full of mixture I was carrying to the oven.
That's orange and mango mousse off the menu tonight.

I hate making a mess too Meg, I'm always cleaning up as I go along with cooking, but believe me, this was a real mess, and a sticky one. The trouble with liquidy stuff is that it creeps everywhere, all round the edges of the hob, every tiny crevice. I'll probably have an invasion of those tiny sugar ants now sniffing out any tiny particle I've missed

Don't feel too bad clumsy, yesterday: , after finishing my tea of chicken in gravy (yum) , I was carrying my plate through to the kitchen, as I reached to turn on the light, my hand caught the plate and upended it all over the fridge, wall and floor, gravy and chicken bones everywhere
we even had to pull out the fridge to retrieve my knife and fork ( it's a tall fridge ) , spent half an hour cleaning up, See, it happens to the best of us
