A lovely, fun little game. I don't mind red herrings in a short game like this (the item you can find in the bedroom was a nice touch!).
A couple of bugs that I don't think have been mentioned by others:
- If you try to FILL PAN again after it's changed state, the game tells you 'You are not carrying a pan'
- If you search the tree for a second time, you get the message about the item appearing there again as well as 'You find nothing of interest'
As Christopher mentioned below, I was surprised to find that 'add' didn't work as a verb when putting the drink together, given that the instructions expressly tell you to 'add'.
I really liked this one though - very enjoyable.
