Back in the day ...

… and the ultimate opportunity presented itself for a “taste test”.

Do you remember when it was the custom to take cakes into the office on your birthday?

Coincidentally it happened to be H's birthday so I sent him off with a tin of the Fruity Fudge Snap.

The absolute best is a comment like “I like these too much” you know the sort of thing, when you can't pass the tin without collecting a biscuit en route. Weak willed I know but who cares!

Just before I go, have a look at this photo :

I appreciate it looks underwhelming – and you'd be right – however, there's nothing more frustrating than measuring syrup accurately and then leaving half of it behind in the jug.

Here's the answer – a drop of vegetable (or sunflower) oil in the jug and then wipe out with kitchen roll, leaving a film of oil. When the time comes to add the syrup it pours straight from the jug leaving virtually nothing behind – hence the boring photo.

I do realise I need to get out more.
