Food Fight

If you follow my tweets you may have noticed in the past I had mentioned a food fight. It was a planned and orchestrated event, formal invitations, suggestions thrown around and the best plan arrived at. The very capable Andrew Cripps camera guy was engaged and although no formal run sheet produced, was planned to a tee!
I haven't got any particular memory of why I wanted a food fight but I did. It came up in conversation a few months back and with a flurry of emails, was decided upon. We even scoped out the site a few weeks prior and decided upon the perfect site, water was nearby for washing but it was also clear enough to avoid the risk of any unintentional victims.

Because I am a responsible adult, it was decided a healthy picnic lunch would be had beforehand and the desert flinging start directly afterwards. Oh and it was also keep a secret from the kids. I wanted to see their faces. I have no idea how many people get to have a food fight, but was sure our kids deserved to be in that minority.

The morning of the day arrived and a quick trip down to the water front where we were to let fly, saw the gusts from the south causing a little havoc. It was touch and go sort of. A phone call here, a look into the sky there but in the end, if we didn't do it now, we never would. I had literally kilograms of desert prepared. From trifle to caramel tarts, jellies and chocolate deserts. And there was 10 other adults all with a similar cache of weapons. It was decided to throw caution to the wind (or cake in this instance) and forge ahead regardless. Boy, were we glad we did. The sun shone, the wind dropped and it was a simply glorious day. The kids were none the wiser and because we have teenage boys that just wanted to eat then run off for a skateboard, we set out the deserts and well watch the clip to see what happened next. All I can say is all our kids are chicken.
