If you are giving a dinner party, or entertaining that special someone, why not try this recipe I used for tonight's dinner?

1. Take two or three strips of parma ham per person, and lay carefully on a board, overlapping them to form a large rectangle.

2. Lay fresh basil leaves on the parma ham, forming a thick line across the middle of the ham.

3. Turn your back for a moment, perhaps to find the next ingredient.

4. Turn back to find the basil on the floor, the parma ham missing, and the board being licked by a large dog. (I used a wolf hound-deer hound cross I had lying around. You'll probably get similar results with, say, a grey hound or great dane.)

5. Cuss. Loudly.

(Okay, if you insist, you can replace steps 3 to 5 with lay a skinless chicken breast fillet on the basil, cover with more basil leaves, then wrap in the parma ham. Fry in a little olive oil. The recipe doesn't work nearly as well if you use cheap bacon instead...)

It never ceases to amaze me how many recipes include steps with large dogs of the sighthound variety!  We've found a couple of recipes too where ingredients have gone missing from work surfaces (or pans). 


Like the parma ham one though.  Can just picture it!

LOL Graham! I'm just dying to know if you all went hungry - or if you had something else to serve!

I'm not laughing, honest...... much!!!

ps: this recipe works very well with plain old toast as well. You can even leave it in the toaster for safe keeping, cos it gets scoffed just the same.

Harley never does this nowadays.  He sniffs along the edge of the counter but only once years ago dared to steal a hot cross bun I had just buttered!! No idea why he hasn't tried it since.


Maybe he didn't like my choice of butter

Normally i would be feeling very smug and having a real good laugh at this thread since Neo never stole anything....until.... along came Sally, the master magician who can make food dissappear right in front of your eyes and you still don't see her do it....and yeah you guessed it, Neo is now copying her so nothing is safe anymore...


It's just as well we love them as much as we all do

Glad people are amused... As am I by other peeps' stories.

We had some cheap bacon in the fridge, and more basil leaves, so I did sort of what I intended, but it didn't work nearly as well. Tara's been angellic ever since - at least in the kitchen! - so perhaps she knows she pushed her luck too far there.

Toast is Zak's great weakness. It's about the only thing he'll go on surfaces after. He's never stolen out of the toaster - yet! - but that might just be because he really prefers toast after it's been buttered.

Cheers,
Graham

Love it!

Speedy nicked half a loaf of bread while I was making beans on toast - beans on beans for supper that night! He smelled horrid after too..

I thought I was learning as I have managed to avoid loosing more food but last week Speedy ate my mobile phone..

Ho hum..

Vernon chewed my work mobile phone a few weeks ago. So far his list of delectable bites include:

1 leather wristband
1 watch strap (also leather)
Dan's muzzle
1 tupperware tub
Numerous loaves of bread
Approximately 2 pats of butter
1 double decker
half a pot of soup
3 DVD cases
a box of craft paper and 2 rubber stamps
stealing half a cake out of my mouth when I was sitting in the car in front of him
bin raids when I'm out of the house

But I wouldn't change him
