Will your pangs of hunger be anything equal to the pangs of REMORSE when you see the huge eyes of your starveling infants?

I promised the housemate that if he bought peanut butter I wouldn't scoff it with a spoon, last week (rather, sensibly save it for topping bread products).
I then scoffed some of the new jar with a spoon, and wrote I LIED in the remaining smooth bit with a fork tine for him to find later. I wish I'd taken a photo, I think it was my finest hour.

I deduce, my dear Watson, that your peanut butter is smooth, since if you tried to write in our peanut butter the letters would not stand out against the crunchy bits. I also see a flaw in your otherwise brilliant jape - it depends on you not succumbing to further temptation, at least with the same jar.

It was crunchy! You can still get a pretty good imprint. But yes, I then had to avoid demolishing it.
(Am now imagining Holmes saying: 'You know my methods. You've read my methodology chapter.')

Hope the children can be successfully fobbed off.

Ah, clearly your peanut butter inscribing skills are better than I imagined. I must have been having an off-day. More pipes needed.

(If Holmes did, I think Mycroft would have to appear and exclaim 'Confusing methods and methodology? A cardinal error')

Have replaced stocks of Chocolate Buttons. Will have to wait for another conference to acquire little packets of biscuits.
