I am an unplugger too....not least because of energy saving, I am a grudging environmentalist - but never the less I try hard now the guilt has hit, but also because we have a weird combination of stuff from US, UK and the Continent all in use on various transformer plugs and extentions. The day the US Mac's wire melted was a good lesson to me.
My mother, a fantastic cook, really brilliant with many things, over cooks most vegetables. It just goes to show that her other stuff must be great to let her get away with it. Its is much worse now she is older. She also has very old fashioned rules about afternoon tea. (number of cakes and other things). She came to stay about three years ago when I was in the middle of a big project and was having a Saturday meeting at my flat to discuss thinngs. I laid out tea mainy to relax myself in preparation for this, and was clearing a way after everyone had left when my parents arrived for a get together we had planned. My mother was scandalised that I had served (in addition to sandwiches, and some biscuits) only one type of cut cake and one un cut cake. when I pointed out that I was wrapping the bulk of most of this for her to take home, it having been surplus to the requirments of the people there at a buisiness discussion she said that of course it was left, there had not been enough choice. Her logic confounds me, but there you are!
Demented mother's eh? what would we do with out them!
