[Panel 1]
[Nils]
I invited Jaakko to come over
later this evening to have
a look at that old server.
[Elizabeth]
Oooh, a visitor! Should
we bake a cake?
[Nils]
If you want.
[Nils]
What I was thinking was that
he's a bit fanatical about his
coffee, you may have noticed.
[Bell]
He did drink six cups
at Ginny's dinner.
[Panel 2]
[Nils]
I know I used to have
a coffee-machine but
I can't find it.
[Elizabeth]
I've never even seen
it! You two always drink
instant, don't you?
[Nils]
Yah, it's easier -- if I
want it really strong I
just use a dessert spoon
instead of a teaspoon.
[Elizabeth]
That explains why there's
always a dessert spoon in
the sink in the morning.
I wondered about that.
[Panel 3]
[Nils]
But I don't think that
will do for Jaakko.
[Bell]
It's ok, I know
where that etna
thing of yours is.
It's in the cupboard
over the oven.
[Bell]
Along with all the other
things we never use, like
the food processor and the
sandwich maker and the
slow-cooker and the
electric carving-knife and
the electric wok...
[Nils]
We have an electric wok?
[Panel 4]
[Bell]
My mother gave it to me.
[Elizabeth]
To encourage you to be more
adventurous in your cooking?
[Bell]
My mum? Adventurous
cooking? You must be
joking, she's strictly a
meat-and-two-veg. cook.
[Elizabeth]
So why the wok?
[Bell]
I think she just couldn't find an
electric yorkshire-pudding-maker.
