more on food and a thank you

Well the food is still going down after a filling Christmas day! I cooked a lot of things, some I had not made before. I found recipes and got the Australian Women’s Weekly Christmas Book for some lovely ideas including a delicious cinnamon and brandy custard, yes I made custard from scratch not powder or carton bought!!

I also made some shortbread, very yummy and some mince pies, well the pastry I made and the mince was from a jar, I will do my own mince one day. Oh yeah I also managed to grate my thumb while grating orange peel so that was lots of fun!!

I made some super delicious Leek and Potato soup with cream, which I have to say, was fantastic!!

The book has some other things in it such as gifts and games and Christmas carols so lots to do next time.

Of course we had stuffed turkey breast with roast potatoes and veggies and gravy and bread sauce which I also made for the first time- very nice with turkey – then there was Christmas pudding for bf and apple crumble with my lovely custard.

I really felt full and happy and we sat around watching films all day, and you know it was lovely. As if there was no one else in the whole world…..

Anyway Saturday morning and back to work, I am almost finished my scarf, I was too busy cooking to knit over the last couple of days and I have to get some stitching done for my meme!!

I got a lovely Charming picture from Ember *hugs* thanks girl its excellent

she also emailed me a really lovely heartfelt message and I want to just say thanks it made me feel really special J

Ok best I shut up now, you are all probably tired of reading my rambling today!!!

Have a nice weekend everyone xxxx
