Was going to make Ice Cream this afternoon but due to Jill deciding to cook us all lunch the galley is not passable. Pizza for 3 hungry firemen,1 sleeping Australian, and two finicky women were located from the freezer and placed in the oven. As it's my boat the crew eat Tesco bottom shelf I wouldn't serve it to the servants stuff....and I am dining on Harrods Finest Upper Crust Pizzas for bored languid yacht owners. Next thing we knew the galley was full of smoke. One of the firemen, mentioning no names Steve, has taken the batteries out of the smoke alarms, soI found myself near unconscious at the chart table whilst they all sunbath upstairs. Fortunately it was only cheese dripping off the pizzas onto the oven burners that caused the thick smoke and vile smell. We will now all to have to eat upstairs as its pretty nasty down here...like a London smog with a long lingering smell. Still I enjoy watching the autohelm... oneof the three firemen has just noticed smoke billowing out of the hatch....no wonder the public services have gone to the dogs ! Anyway, once its safe to return to the galley I will locate and report on the progress of today's culinary ice cream trials.,....prob this evening....
