I used to be able to tie my own shoe laces in ye olden days when I wore shoes. But these spring onion bows are hard to do - for a normal person. I wonder if it might be an idea to blanch the spring onions first to soften them up. They'd be a bit more pliable then. I'll try! Even then, I suspect that such a fiddly job would be beyond my capabilities. Nah, it’s not easy. I used to be able to tie my own shoe laces in ye olden days when I wore shoes.

Presentation of food can be a little bit of a faff sometimes, but if you provide a feast for the eyes then people are already very well disposed towards your food. Mind you, some people overdo it sometimes. I don't like food that looks like someone has been messing about with for hours. Yuk. And now for the big question... Will you be able to tie your carrot bundles with a pretty bow, or will you have to go down the granny knot route? I can cook (and even draw and paint), but I'm just not one of these people who is "good with their hands" at the more craft-related things. LOL!
