food

reader charlie sent me this. he writes:
“Thought you might like this. It says tesco doughnuts, yet contains cornish pasties. How random.”

i’ve had a stinking cold for the last week. i stopped at the petrol station for some lemsips and, as is always the way when i got to a petrol station, i also got a box/tin/tube of pringles.
but fancy me if they didn’t use exactly the same colour scheme. that could confuse someone who was easily confused

my colleague Domhnall sent me these photos of a recent trip to a buffet.

he writes: “On the plus side we had lunch in a china buffet place today and they had the weirdest instructions. See the attached and you’ll realise they charge you for sitting down (unless you ask them not to), how much your children pay depends on their height, and the offer of Chinese Mush was one I personally passed on! ”

yesterday, whilst the girls were at a party i went to the pub and had a giant steak and ale pie and chips whilst reading the paper. what a treat.

Esther and i shared this huge ice-cream which contained cream, ice-cream, profitables, chocolate cake, maltesers and flakes. a brilliant daddy/daughter thing to do !

this incident catering unit van was at jane’s half marathon. What a fantastic name for a van. And what a brilliant idea too.
they could have all sorts of advertising messages, like “all events catered for”, or pun around the words incident/instant.
available now for all your emergency sandwich needs.

and if you click on the picture you’ll note on the big version it says ‘teapo’ on the side. which is a nice idea.

children can be so lateral. Kezia had some Candy Floss. She’d wanted some for ages and finally got some, and loved it.

on the tub it said “contents may shrink after opening”
and esther said, “of course it will – you’ll eat it”.

i like the idea of a combined beer and spaghetti can. food and drink, ideal for street embassadors (my name for tramps/homeless)

a major advantage of jane having the same birthday as our friend andy is that andy’s wife gill prepared a fantastic birthday cake for andy which jane could also pretend was for her birthday ! hoorah for andy and gill and jane

mark sent me these great signs of pet mince which he’s also posted on his blog

i showed esther and she really laughed. she got the double meaning, but she added a third by saying “wouldn’t it be funny to have some mints as a pet”. i hadn’t even thought of that so i was very impressed !

fancy stuff and … crisps

keith sent me this picture of a lorry he saw. as if us Brits need more encourage to eat more chips. i know i don’t.
