So The Mister was in a jam (ha ha!) earlier this week – challenged by the partner of a guy we work with that HER jam is better than his raspberry jam. It started out as a harmless try-the-jam-at-home-on-your-toast kind of challenge but escalated into so much more – Al Brown of the very well know Logan Brown restaurant in Wellington waded in with support for the challenger, famous judges were lined up, Old Bank Arcade where it was held was jam-packed (ha ha), announcement of the event and write-up afterwards were in the paper and apparently the NZ Gardener magazine has put up their hand to sponsor it next year – WOW!
It was a great little get together – a really fun non-work, community thing to do left everyone in good spirits, even the loser, The Mister 🙁
I’ve put 2 posts about the event on the Xero blog: Xero jam session and Jamtastic!
