Home-made Babybel

Olly is doing something very interesting and experimental with hot, red wax. But when his back was turned I had a little play.

I've destroyed the ambience at dinner-parties and fancy gastropubs before by dicking about with hot wax on my fingers. It's great fun! Ow it's hot! Now it's numb! Other finger. Tap the table. Tap them together. Tap tap tap. Tee hee hee. Pulling the wax from under the finger nails. Looking at the empty little fingerprint negatives. Rolling the wax together into a little ball. Forcing it back into the flame so little black tectonics of carbon start to slake off. Maybe cut little grooves into the side so the wax pours out...I had a waiter in Greenwich confiscate one of those great big black candles from me about two years ago for doing that.

Anyway, this time I had ago at making my own mini wheel of cheese. Pics.
