Not sure if this belongs here, but it does involve both food and a gift, so sort of fits. If nothing else it might give you a laugh.

For some reason, Grandma Pat decided to buy us a family photo experience from Boots last Christmas. And as this Christmas rapidly approaches we decided we best get our rears into gear and get booked in. But no longer do you just roll up, try not to grimace and go home to await the awful result. Oh no, now we’ve been asked to bring props, and changes of wardrobes.

Food has emerged as a theme. Not sure how helpfully though. The family brainstorm last weekend seemed to take us on a naked chef route. Really, can you imagine? All of us in just our aprons and pants? Well, memorable I suppose. I suggested the rolling pin, Dr T looked pale. I think cookbooks may be involved on my behalf, the others can take their own favourite book.

But then one major problem has emerged in the last 48 hours….Dr T is sporting an amazing black eye. His story goes that it involves the cutting of fresh chilli for the salmon stir fry, an unfortunate/forgetful rub of the eye, a dollop of yoghurt and then an incident with an overly enthusiastic door handle. It’s a fabulous fib if it’s not true!

So right now we’re facing into my skill with concealer or just shooting him from one side.

Well, that or a pirate theme.

So, about those naked chefs…..
