ah yes, wicker baskets....that reminds me how my friend was carrying home a family size jam tart in her wicker basket, the plate wouldn't fit in properly so it was sort of balanced on the top, inevitably it fell out on the pavement, plate smashed, jam tart intact.
lovely light pastry

Oh yes, the wicker basket! Mine has been revamped by my mother with a pocketed cloth lining for baby bits and bobs.

Stayingsunny that is inspired! Though poor food tech teacher with all that shopping!

Well, thanks for all your ingenuity, we managed to find a passably fitting top to a pot and the buns were delicious. Not everyone managed to get everything in one peice and not everyone managed to produce anything edible during the lesson either!

Still, in my day at poncey grammar school, they used to make us carry our domestic science (for that was what it was called in Ye Olden Dayes) in a whicker basket. God the shame , being on the bus next to the cool comp kids who had carrier bags from miss Selfridges...

I've got it!

Do you have a bubbles container?? Just normal kids blowing bubbles using fairy liquid....

Rinse it out, crack the egg in to it and close it up with celloptape for extra security!

suprise him and send him with a hard boiled one.. and a letter to teacher saying he can't be trusted with a raw one yet

Keep it in the chicken, when it's time give it a squeeze

At the dses school, we pay £12 for the year to the Food Tech department, and they provide all the ingredients - which is certainly easier for me. It also means I don't have to spend the evening before they have food tech ransacking the kitchen for the ingredients needed, and ending up in Tescos, because they didn't think to tell me they needed stuff until less than 12 hours before it's needed.

This is why I drive ds in and pick him up on Food Tech days!

at BCN

... he says YES! with a big snigger
