Doing anything special tonight? We’re not, just having an M&S beef and ale pie, potato dauphinois from the same source, and a big pan of sprouts. Maybe a mini Hagendaz for afters. Then we shall sit...
We have both been given one of these as a Christmas present. It will allow us to find out something about our antecedents and where we may originate from. Our details will be kept on the company’s...
Followed by bananas and custard. Proper comfort food. Most leftovers have been eaten or turned into something currently residing in the freezer for a later date. May have a go at that ice cream up...
Just bought the ingredients to make this tomorrow, hope it turns out as good as it sounds. Saw the recipe on the BBC website so thought we’d have a bash.
Anyone made it, and did you enjoy it?...
Anyone do their own recipe for mulled wine? I have two sachets of stuff to do it but actually think I’d like to make my own. I’ve looked online but wonder if anyone makes their own and can...
We’ll be doing ours on the Thursday before Christmas. These days all the milk, cream, perishable stuff, has long use by dates so that won’t be a problem. And all the veg keeps very nicely in the...
followed by Apple lattice pie and homemade custard for us this evening, all shovelled in while watching Strictly with a couple of glasses of pink fizz.

This time last year we had no babies or children in the family. This Christmas we have THREE babies, all of whom will be staying with us, with their parents and a rogue grannie in law, over the...
And sprouts for dinner tonight, followed by a Costco individual fresh cream Victoria sandwich cake.
Anything interesting on your plate this evening?...
The cocktail... Spicy rum (Oakheart being my choice, other rums are available) Juice of half a lime (Lime cordial will do at a push) Ginger beer (preferably Crabbies alcoholic but any will make a very...
Do you tend to have a drink on a Saturday night even if you don’t the rest of the week? Or doesn’t it make any difference to you that it’s saturday? We’ve just had a Dark & Stormy each, and...
We don’t order much online mainly because of the nuisance of having to be in to take delivery. We would buy much more if we could somehow overcome this problem. We live at the end of a very quiet...
We made one of these today, with olive oil instead of butter, and sandwiched with lemon curd and lemon buttercream, covered in lemon buttercream too.
OMG, it’s the best cake I’ve ever eaten....
