CDWM: Helen’s dessert

6 June 2010

This was Helen’s beautiful dessert: mango tiramisu, served in pretty individual dishes.

The Eurovision Song Contest was still going strong and we were judging the entries ourselves. Later we were also able to judge the country representatives – one-shouldered dresses were popular this year. Especially among the women. Graham Norton was doing an entertaining job of presenting the show for the UK audience and made me laugh when, taken aback by one scorer’s lack of sartorial effort, exclaimed, “a zippy top, that’s it?”

When all the scores were in I amazingly got a point for placing Bosnia and Herzegovina correctly at 17th. A nice way to make up to them, seeing as I hadn’t even listed them as a participant in the first quiz. We didn’t agree with the ultimate winner, but, very patriotically, I’m sure you’ll agree, were totally in favour of the UK being placed last. The rest of the participating countries take the competition very seriously, but the UK doesn’t and doesn’t offer much in the way of a talented contender. So we deride the contender and then the competition and round we go again.

I like the look of that pudding, together with Eurovision sounds like my kind of evening.
