Hm, that reminds me of a good 'cooking' tale........  

Some years back when I was an avid railway modeller, I was one of the team who ran the N gauge club layout at the Gloucester Model Railway Club. The layout was getting a bit hackneyed and the Committee asked if we knew of another N Gauge layout we could run for the next show. One of my buddies there suggested that I could finish my American N gauge layout by the time of the show, about 10 DAYS away! I wasn't at the meeting of course and the first thing I knew was his phone call that night.....

At this time the 'layout' consisted of a large piece of plywood and 4 legs!  

Both of us took the next week off on leave and built the layout in 8 days flat, but it needed a couple of all-night sessions and we ate as we worked. Mrs PR19 played a blinder and kept us fed and watered all through the week, one of the staple foods was a limitless stew that was kept on the go the whole time, various ingedients being added as we ate the eventual product. At one stage Mary (that's Mrs PR19's first name) asked if we'd like some dumplings in the stew to which we agreed, so she made up a batch and added them. They were a great success and she made so many that she put a batch in the freezer for later use.

Later in the week we asked for some more dumplings so the frozen batch was added to the stew. Sadly they sank to the bottom of the pot and stayed there, rather like the 'Kursk' but without the holes. They never did surface but we tried to eat them anyway, but came to the conclusion that there was no way our teeth, or our stomachs, would survive the onsalught so we gave them up as a bad job and put them on side plate while we demolished the rest of that session's stew.

Later the same evening we were building one end of the layout's scenery, which was intended to be a pretty large rock outcrop disguising the track looping round to the rear of the layout but we'd run out of sheets of foam to build it with, and were looking round for some solid stuff to make up the shortfall (I bet you're ahead of me here.....)

Sure enough, the reject dumplings were EXACTLY the right size and shape and we duly incorporated them into the lump of rock before we covered it with umpteen layers of plaster of paris!  

To this day that outcrop is called 'Mary's Mountain' and you can just see it at the right hand end of the small piccie below. That piccie has another half of the layout added to it, we took 10 days to build that half.......

I tried baking bread a few months back, only useful as a brick for the the construction industry or bludgeoning someone! Dropped the damn thing on my foot when knocking it out of the tin, had to hobble around for a week or two!

Lol!! Would that by any chance be a rat that's been run over by a van??

I think you've been watching Blackadder Goes Forth?
