Little Boxes, little boxes... - Scuderia_Turini - 3rd-Dec-19
Just back from Asda. I spotted a special offer at the end of one of the kitchen stuff aisles and immediately thought - "Project Boxes".
Label says "10 food storers" (sic) and the cost for the bunch of 10 is 2 GB Pounds.
They are not the highest quality but seem durable enough and they are stack-able so one can literally stack up the projects.
Usable size approx 145mm long, 100mm wide and 45mm high, therefore will accommodate a 1:32 bodyshell and chassis along with bits and bobs.
At clubs where food is a priority, they could also hold biscuits or sandwiches.

They look just like the ones I get from our local super market.
The advantage is that they come filled with Tiramisu!
I have a few

Nice find.
The 1 litre ice cream tubs are quite handy too.

I would have to admit that the Wall's Cornish tubs are my favourite (!) although the tampo printing hampers the visibilty.
Pre-packed Tiramisu ? - how gauche!

Yeah I know.
There are times when even the biggest self sufficiency people like to slum. My problem is that when I make anything, it always turns out to be enough for ten and there are just the two of us and Ronnie is savoury against my sweet. She doesn't mind helping a bit but, even I can only eat so much. The freezer is jam packed as it is so, I do indulge occasionally - as in quite often, as a peek into the track room would confirm

Enough Tiramisu for ten doesn't necessarily sound like a bad thing.

Re Leo's mention of clubs where catering of sandwiches and biscuits , today Brian and his partner came over and had mince pies and bacon sarnies ,no racing just to look at this lot

OK Steve what does the outside of your house look like? Are there queues of cars passing by slowly to gasp in awe?
