Malambo" says...
SWMBO made the first batch of mince pies yesterday. She usually has a
cup with a small ammount of water in which she dips her fingers into
in order to wet the edge of the pastry when she sticks the lisds on.

I was washing up, and took cleared the cup away. When she complained,
I got her another, but being ham fisted old me,

I filled it nealy to the brim. Hence she discovered that this made
the job much easier!.

I wonder if there is a market for "half cups" where you just get the
top half (rather than the touristy half tea cups where you get one
side, or the ones they used to advertise in the Daily Mirror with the
cut outs for the nipples).

I think the finger bowl has already been invented :-)
