Registered, hopefully the beer turns up this time!

[bald_pig]

Pies have just arrived, hopefully the rest arrives before tomorrow!

I may have missed something but how does this run? Do we need to get them cooked before hand or are we walked through? I've also though, first world problems I know but, do we end up drinking all 5 pints through the evening? @Chanelle_Securly

[Chanelle_Securly]

@TechMonkey I've just sent an email with instructions! and yes, usually all pint's are consumed but we'll leave this totally up to you to avoid any sore heads in the morning

@TechMonkey - You can drink as much or as little as you want, tonight. It all depends on whether you can work from home tomorrow.

 

The pies have been pre-cooked but it takes about 25 minutes to heat them through, IIRC. Unless you're planning to eat all of them tonight, I'd select 2 or 3, stick them in the oven so they'll be ready to go. @Chanelle_Securly has already asked James about a running order so, hopefully, he'll let us know at the beginning.

 

My beers arrived yesterday, while I was working from home. Later, I got an email to say that the driver with my pies had been delayed but they should arrive by 3pm. They didn't. I've just had another email to say they were delivered at 12.07 today and were left 'in my front porch', which I don't have, so I'm assuming they mean 'on the doorstep'. The proof of delivery photo was taken from about 50m away and shows about 4 houses in it. They would have been frozen when they left the pie-maker's yesterday; I just hope they've not been stored anywhere warm overnight.

 

But I have beer!!

[TechMonkey]

Thank you both. In my head as it was a guided tasting we were gobbling all pies and all beers. I was up for the challenge, though fully expecting tomorrow to be tricky.

[bald_pig]

My beer arrived this morning, but I'm now working until 6, so having pies ready at 5:40 will be a challenge!

[Chanelle_Securly]

The order of play will be:

 

 

 

• Cauliflower Balti (vegan) - Lukas/Jaipur
