Wow. The Elderflower is exploding..... A glass bottle with a metal and ceramic stopper blew itself to kingdom come in the dairy!
Trying to burp the bottles proved equally hazardous to life until I suggested we freeze them.
'After all Champagne doesn't fizz up if it's especially chilled..' she said smugly to the hubby, as she reminisced back to the time when she was a Stolly-Bolly girl in London, selling art....... ah bliss.
So we stuck them in the deep freeze and when they were really cold we burped the bottles.
They are now being stored in the cellar and require burping once a day.... Poo! it's like having 30 children!! Still it will be worth it in the end...
Oh my goodness, exploding bottles - scary! Neat cellar.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. Just the idea of having to burp your champagne is tickling my fancy A LOT. :) And they better be worth it. You know, I have some fine homemeade margaritas with fresh fruit in the freezer right now, want to come round with some of that champagne and we can share our wares? We can pretend anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteIn Real Life: The cellar is really cold too and sometimes we find newts in there! Better keep their paws off my Champagne!
ReplyDeleteThe Vegetable Assassin: Popping over now, do you have ice.....? Mind you, MI5, MFI and the CIA might stop me getting on the plane with my exlosive devices... My apologies if I'm a little late!
