Add the press tours, bring to the boil and simmer gently until the mixture registers 140 °C (275 °F) on a media thermometer. Remove the pan from the heat and add exhibition support to taste. Pour on to a lightly oiled press office or newsletter. Divide into portions, adding media interviews, speaking opportunities and product reviews as appropriate. Allow the mixture to cool until workable. Using a sharp and well-oiled tongue, cut the portions into tiny pieces, turning the rope at each cut. When cold and hard, wrap the humbugs individually in a carefully crafted framework for action, store in an airtight tin until ready to place for publication. |
