This is a bit silly, sorry, but it's really annoying me!

My brother and his girlfriend (one of my good friends) came over on Boxing Day, along with my Mum. We all made a few bits each - she made burgers and a cheesecake, he brought a prawn sharer platter, Mum made a rice salad, I baked some potatoes, made a salad and dressing, laid everything out and we had a buffet for tea. It was all very lovely.

The cheesecake didn't actually get eaten on Boxing Day so I said did they want to take it back. They said they might pop round before going back to Winchester (where she's at University) and pick up half but when I spoke to them around lunchtime on Thursday they were already on the road. I assumed that they didn't want the cheesecake after all, and that there wasn't much point leaving it in the fridge to go off (as an aside, how quickly does cheesecake go off?). So DH and I had some of the cheesecake. And then a bit more. And then a teeny bit more. Then we went to bed and forgot to put it back in the fridge (but to be honest there wasn't much left at all by that point Blush ) so in the morning I put the last, rather soggy looking, bit in the bin.

Cut to today. My brother has just phoned and informed me that they will be popping in on Wednesday to pick up the cheesecake. I said that we had had some of it and then put the last little bit in the bin and he hit the roof. Apparently we should have known they would come and get some, they said they would, and it would obviously have lasted this long (it was made on Christmas Eve). How dare we eat it all, blah blah blah blah.

So, who is BU here? I know it's completely ridiculous to even get so worked up over a fecking cheesecake but he's really annoyed me and obviously I need some MNsnetters to tell me whether my indignation is righteous or not Wink

I've got that Masterchef song in my head now. I like the buttery biscuit base.

chipmunksex nope that sounded like - "i'm half way through a bottle of amaretto and people on mumsnet are falling out about a cheesecake" in my head.

Although the Lady Bracknell look is one a would be happy to adopt.

Yeah cheers Endo (!)

He seems to be quite sure of the fact that it would have been fine to eat. I could hear my friend/his girlfriend in the background getting arsey about it too. I heard her say "it's just sugar" - I'm fairly sure there's more to cheesecake than that, however it's made!

Good to know I'm not BU, unless you count starting cheesecake threads and making half of MN hungry!

I always leave any left over food for the host to finish. Having lots of nibbles to nibble is sort of payment for hosting in my eyes. It allows the host to rest and avoid cooking and recover for a day.

I am now absolutely craving cheesecake. I'm not pg, but it's that sort of intense craving. Is it difficult to make?

HavePatience · 02/01/2012 21:40

Sorry and YANBU. Your db is rude

This is one of those things that you do when you're a youngster, look back and remember and feel mortified. Too funny...
