Blaggers’ Auction

Cecilia and Mark had a fantastic time at the Blaggers’ Banquet. By all accounts it was a sensational success, with over £6,000 being raised for Action Against Hunger. If you want to read more about the event from a variety of perspectives then have a look at…

And most importantly devour Niamh’s amazingly moving post…

But the fun hasn’t stopped. And neither has the fund-raising. If you visit the Blaggers’ Banquet eBay store you can bid on the first batch of lots including:

An Interflora “Hamper for Him”
An awesome Kitchenaid Artisan Stand Mixer
A visit for two to Artisan du Chocolat Atelier
Afternoon Tea for Two at the Ritz
A White Christmas Tea Collection from the White Tea Company

And look out for your chance to bid on Mexican cookery lessons from none other than our very own Tommi!

Thanks to Food by Mark for the image – have a look at the rest of his fantastic images here.

The little chilli growing competition…

To all those lucky people in Canary Wharf who received one of these lovely little pots…

We want you to put together a special guide on how to grow your chillies – whether your secret trick is dancing, singing, hugging or that special concoction of vitamins that you’ve been giving your plant.

Please send through photos (to loswahacos@wahaca.co.uk) along with your commentary showing the whole development of your chilli growing and your advice for everyone else out there wanting to grow chillies. The winner will get a free dinner at Wahaca for up to 6 people. It can be funny, very serious or slightly bizarre, we don’t mind as long as it gets a mighty fine chilli plant to hold up as an example to all the fellow Wharf chilli growers! All entries (within reason) will be put on our blog.

Send your entries through by the end of January and we’ll get judging. Can’t wait to see what the Wharfers have been up to!

In the meantime, remember to bring your chilli pot in this January (with the pink “Little chilli give away” sign) and show us how your going for that free pot of guacamole & chips.

(Don’t worry you may not have any chillies by the end of January but you won’t be far off and will have done very well looking after your plant through its early days).

Either send us pictures of your chilli plants via email to loswahacos@wahaca.co.uk or add them to our Flickr group
