Do you have a Plan B if Plan A doesn't work out?

Vince has gone to golf this morning and I’m just hoping it doesn’t rain on the group. It’s supposed to. When he gets home, he has to pick up two friends from the train station. They are coming for lunch. The wife is an old work associate of mine. Another workmate is driving here so there will be five of us. We made bavarois again but they didn’t work out this time so again I won’t have any photos of them. We’ve had to go with Plan B for dessert which will be something with ice-cream. It’s always good to have Plan B up your sleeve, don’t you think? Photo is Vince's of a banksia. A few more weeks and all the wildflowers will be out.

It's a type of dessert. It contains gelatin and whipped cream.

Sanjeev has explained it pretty well. It's set in a mould and, with luck, looks a bit special if it comes out cleanly.

My Plan Bs are usually whatever I can think of that will work when I'm in a hurry. I hope everything goes well for the lunch date with your friends.

And whenever there plan B , plan A is likely not to happen psychologically and it's true

@Laurakemunto I suppose that could be true but sometimes Plan B isn't needed.

My whole life is made of plan Bs And in this right moment, after a long talk with my aunt, I´ll go and cook a plan B for my dinner. Plan A was completly eaten with Carolina And she applauded while she ate. Fortunatly I´m half full. Leftovers are always plan B Or C for that matter.

What an interesting plant. I love Bavarian cream if it isn't too sweet but I wonder if that would be the same as bavarois

I know how you feel, I have never heard of bavarois before so I looked it up:

It's like a rich egg custard. I don't know what Bavarian cream is so I can't really comment.

Is that plant harsh to the touch or soft? Sometimes plan B sneaks up and bites me. Other times I rely on my guardian angel.

It's harsh and the foliage is tough and harsh too. It's an Australian native.

This is the flower. There are a number of banksias. Here is another one. The bloom on the left is past its best but the one on the right is as good as they get.

@misunderstood_zombie Australia has a great number of unique wildflowers. I guess the country has been cut off from anywhere else for a very long time.

Sometimes,when i plan outdoor activitys but i am unsure about the weather,I will make a Plan B as standby.Plan B should be a indoor activity,in case it rains,we will carry out Plan B. In particular,if we are unsure about Plan A,we'd better prepare a plan B,just in case.

Having plans or other options is a great way of staying afloat incase other plans don't work. Yes I do have lots of plans so as to be more prepared incase one plan works not.

Most generally, I only have a Plan-A. If this ends up falling through, I hurry up to establish a Plan-B. We had wild flowers growing all around our home, when we lived in Tawas City. The following year, they reseeded all over our neighbor's front yard! lol

There is a great song about trying to get a piano into an upstairs room. They had lots of cups of tea before they succeeded. I can't really remember now if they succeeded or not but it was a funny song.

Yes, I like to have a plan B. My Vitamin Shoppe, has order online & free in-store pickup. Found no extension in pick-ups, but got Swanson's Vitamins mail delivery, so it's ok. My plan B for transportation no go, just now though, family leery of covid, so it's bus & healthcare plan only fy transportation. Taxi in a pinch, I guess.
