Christmas Avatar Competition...Ok I have finally got round to doing this... We don't have long as I really want the prizes to be sent to the winner for Christmas, so all you have to do is this...
Choose a Christmas related avatar (also food related would be better) and then post on this thread by Friday 7th December. Then a poll will be set-up to vote for the winner. Eeryone is eligible apart from me of course... 
The prizes are couresty of Glynis who kindly donated them to me for this competition, so thanks Glynis!!
Don't Try This at Home: Culinary Catastrophes from the World's Greatest Cooks and Chefs (Hardcover)
Even the world's finest chefs and cooks have their off days. In "Don't Try This at Home", thirty-three chefs and food-writers talk about the times when it all went terribly wrong. There are stories about greedy pets, clumsy waiters and drunken maitre d's; the food that fails to arrive for a party, wedding cakes that disintegrate, the terrine that falls into a bowl of chocolate sauce. Then there are the rueful, embarrassed stories of errant youth. How the chefs manage to save the day is as entertaining as the disasters that strike them. Funny, cringe-making, and terribly reassuring "Don't Try This at Home" is a delicious reminder that even the chefs we most admire aren't always perfect.
