My cat is not nearly as intelligent as that - if we just run the can opener (without there even being a can in it) she will come running!

How many times can you do it in a row before she realises that it's trickery?

I've got a pestle and mortar and just stick the ground stuff in there and pretend.

And do you really open so many cans that it justifies having an electric opener? Or is it just an American thing to automate everything that can be?

You must try the whole spices, though - roast 'em and grind 'em

That's an interesting point. We scarcely open any cans (cat food, tuna, maybe some soup occasionally - because I don't like canned stuff generally) but there it sits, taking up prime real estate on my rather small kitchen counter. (Think I'll go home and bury it in the yard.)

I know! I'm forever running around opening doors for Poppy. She thinks I'm a sort of combined doorman/butler/PA.

Now where would I get them, there norra lot of call for them at friggining Tesco. We have a big Halal supermarkety typey thingy about 3 miles away. In fact we're going up there tomorrow to get giant bag of strawberries.

Mind I get proper ginger, garlic, cardamon pods and nutmeg but that's about as exotic as it gets.
