The Big Slurp!
Here’s a date for your diaries, the evening of Tuesday 21 September, when we’ll be holding a Twuddle ‘Big Slurp’ to help celebrate the end of Summer and a few weeks of what we hope will be glorious Autumnal sunshine and fine weather.
‘The Big Slurp’ is going to be an evening of soup-tasting and artisan bread nibbling ~ plus fine wine and ale quaffing! We’ve already got a venue in Tunbridge Wells (courtesy of a fellow Twuddler) and a few willing helpers to make a variety of soups and breads ~ but more volunteers are needed. So if you’re a dab hand at making soup or bread please leave a comment below and get involved!
The event with be ‘bring your own’ in terms of wine and beer, but we think we should try to push the boat out and use the ‘Big Slurp’ to sample different things, so unusual varieties are more than welcome. Some of the marvellous autumn and winter ales immediately spring to mind!
Please leave your comments below ~ we really do appreciate your help and feedback on all Twuddle and Twuttle matters. We’d also like to get an idea of how many people will be attending, so a yes or no in that respect would be very useful.
We haven’t decided yet whether to issue a ‘ticket’ for the event to cover costs ~ that depends on how many people are willing to lend a hand and help out. But rest assured if we do, it’ll be for a nominal sum.
How time flies! Tuesday 31st of August is Twuddle’s first birthday. Seems like only yesterday a small band of local Twitterers gathered in The Opera House to meet for the very first time. A year on and both Twuttle and Twuddle have become regular and thriving events. To help celebrate our birthday we’re going to hold a bake-off ~ and we’re issuing a challenge to one and all to bake a cake (or cupcakes) to bring along on the night. Who’s up for it? For fun, we’ll all help judge the entries and let each Twuddler cast a vote in the following categories:
1) Best tasting cake (yes, we’ll all get the chance to eat them!)
2) Best decorated cake
3) Most innovative cake recipe
4) Most ‘Twuddlesome’ cake.
All categories should be self-evident apart from perhaps number four ~ ‘Twuddlesome’, what’s that about? Well let’s just say that ‘Twuddlesome’ relates to the cake that best defines the spirt of Twuddle. That could be its taste, recipe, ingredients, decoration… or whatever! We’ll leave it up to you (and everyone who casts a vote on the night) to decide.
So get baking! We look forward to seeing (and tasting) the results on Tuesday evening. As usual, Twuddle starts at 7.30pm and will be held at Sankey’s on Mount Ephraim in Tunbridge Wells ~ see you there!
