An Adventure in Space and Thyme (with apologies to Doctor Who fans everywhere)

Worthing GoodGymmers are a hardy lot. Despite yet more rain wind hitting the south coast, (hopefully not an Oncoming Storm) , ten people ran to Turning Tides a short distance away - some even going the long way round.

From ready, steady , go at Splashpoint, it became "Ready, Steady, Cook" on arrival as the team were greeted by an array of vegetables, spices and tinned produce. From then on the GoodGym Team became the equivalent of the A-Team as a plan (or recipe) was concocted out of the food utensils and equipment to hand. Who ever knew Worthing was such a hot bed of cooking talent? Steve proved himself to be The Master of the stove, whilst everyone busied themselves preparing ingredients. All we needed was some pasta and it would have been molto benne but regardless it was still fantastic.

Belinda bossed the washing up, ensuring everyone had the implements they needed and slowly, the T.A.R.D.I.S. was coming together (Thyme And Random Decisions Into Saucepan). Space was at a premium (this kitchen wasn't bigger on the inside) but everyone worked well together. Good things come to those who wait, and when we looked at the time, lord knows we'd done well. In doing such a lovely deed (and the aroma was a treat), there was much joviality but as a great Doctor once said, "there's no point being grown up if you can't be childish".

The clock was ticking so a little bit of allons-y was needed to finally have the dish prepared. The microwave was whirring, the hobs were glowing and whilst the kitchen was tidied and cleaned, the wonderful smells told us that, Geronimo! Dinner was served.

Sadly, that meant it was time for our exit, back out into the wind and rain for the short trot home. However one day, I shall come back, yes, I shall come back. And I hope that the creative talent seen tonight is as fantastic then.
