How to Eat Banoffee Pie (Anderson style)

First of all, give your spoon a good lick, to clear the soup off. Then when the dish is passed your way, pick up the dice and throw.

You are hoping for a 6, because that means you can help yourself to a nice spoonful of Banoffee pie, before you pass it to the person on your left.

What you want to avoid is a 4, because then you help yourself to a spoonful, but not of Bannoffee pie. You take a spoonful of cold baked beans instead. Yuk.

If you throw a 3, it is good for you, you still help yourself to a spoonful of pie, but not so good for the person on your left, because they miss their turn.

If you throw a 1, then some one gets to eat pie, but not you. You get to choose who.

On the first round, throwing a 2 or 5 is quite boring, you eat nothing, and pass the pie and dice to your left, but after the first round, things are different.

When you throw a 2, you get to take a spoonful of pie, but you feed it to the person on your left. If they then thow a 6 they do quite well.

When you throw a 5 you take a spoonful of pie, and you feed it to the person on your right. Only you have your eyes shut, and are guided by the person on their right. It can go smoothly, but some how it didn't

With special thanks to Nathan for making the pie, to Tim for having a birthday to celebrate, for Dave for devising the game, and to Dan, John, John, Peter, Colin, Dave, Mark, Luke, Nash & Mike.

Worcester Sauce & Sun Dried Tomato Crisps

This is a very satisfying bag of crisps.

Each crisp is quite substantial, you do not get flaky bits and a pile of crumbs at the end of the pack, each crisp is an enjoyable experience.

They  are a pleasure to eat, not too salty, they taste nice without having that desparately moreish sensation that its more saltier cousins have. 

Nor are they overly greasy, you can eat them and your fingers still feel fairly clean and dry.  

The taste is very pleasant, but delicate and understated.  If you want to blow yout taste buds up, choose the Walker's variety, with all its salt and grease.  If you are prepared to savour your crisps and enjoy more subtle flavours, then this  is well worth a try.

Coffee Cake

I would not say that it is the most exciting thing about today, but it is probably the easiest to take a photo of. Very tasty too.
