Afternoon all,

I appear to have finally caught up on the December Cooks posts (happens when
you go to work on 28/29 December with nothing to do.....)

Absolutely!  The phrase was first coined in July this year when Drake and I
and some friends dropped into the kitchen at Midwinter which Lorix ran (some
list members may remember Lorix).  Well comments started flying about the
fact that the same people seem to always end up in the kitchen regardless
where in Australia the event is being held .... and so the phrase was
coined.

Yup.  I'm more disorganized so I tend to just wander into kitchens and pick
up a tea-towel (as the washing-up ALWAYS needs doing).  Later on I introduce
myself and generally help around with whatever needs doing.  I also find
that non-locals are usually VERY welcome in the kitchen when local court
(Baronial etc.) starts, as a lot of the local helpers leave the kitchen at
that time.
