1370 - BASTE

"It's high time you ATE some food", said Emily to Gerry. "But I've lost my sense of taste and everything I eat tastes like paste", retorted Gerry. "Well, try this - and don't eat it in so much haste", said Emily. "Do I have to? This TV program about the different types of caste in traditional Hindu society is very interesting", moaned Gerry trying to get out of it. "Ok, then", said Emily, "stay there and I'll bring a batch of taster foods for you to try. If you eat them whilst watching the TV, you might not notice them when they taste bland. Meanwhile, I will cook a roast chicken for the rest of us. I'll just have to stay here and baste it from time to time. The rest of the housework will just have to pile up." Gerry hadn't heard a word as he was engrossed in his program once more!
