HATE them......they are the air that I breathe..........no reason for life without those little buggers.

my wife works as an in home care provider for a couple of large organisations.

she took a couple of my pasties out to a couple of clients to try (full sheet of Pampa's puff pastry per pasty, so on the large side)......I knew one of the clients love's pepper so I "overdosed" one especially for him.

his daughter tried a piece and immediately placed an order for a couple of dozen of them and spread the word, within a day I had orders for 20 dozen.

given the exercise is simply a "weekend project" for my fantastic grand kiddies and myself to spend some "quality time together, I am very heartened that the produce that ensued is enjoyed by so many others.

ended up with 30 pasties.....spread amongst the family and friends.

we had a ball, 3 kid's, well 4 actually counting me, we had flour everywhere, a vegetable peel fight as well as a "largest' pasty competition, where the largest pasty capable of being baked, without splitting, won the day........ice cream was the prize, grandson 4.5 won.

we had smily face competitions for the best "impression" left on the top of the pasty after baking.

then the best part.....an "eatathon" who could eat the most pasty's.

given kids, and particularly littly's, won't eat vegetables I think this is a huge achievement..........

over all an exceptional weekend that I would recommend every grandparent, parent, significant other get into simply to enjoy the kids.

my gripe for today........sorry haven't got one!...........too nice a day to whinge, but I will find one before the weeks over, somebody will stuff it up for me.
