What’s in this year’s Mini-Fridge? Some tasty treats you won’t wanna miss – and in honor of the mini-festival which highlights a small but savory platter of hors d’oeuvres made up of FRIGID and FRINGE deliciousness we here will be presenting Mini-Fridge Elevenses. What is Elevenses? If you were too lazy to follow that link we’ll tell you: In the United Kingdom and Ireland, elevenses is a snack that is similar to afternoon tea, but eaten in the morning. It is generally less savoury than brunch, and might consist of some cake or biscuits with a cup of coffee or tea. The name refers to the time of day that it is taken: around 11 am.
But here at The Happiest Medium Elevenses is Eleven Questions for our Mini-Fridge participants. So, grab a snack out of your own fridge and sit back because in the next few days we’ll be featuring some great Q&As with:
