Hello,
Well it’s stinking hot here today and I spent it wandering round shopping centres doing my much belated Christmas shopping. Got most of it done, just the last few bits and pieces to go and the food…… ick.
So after the success of the fruit cake I’m now going to brave the Christmas pudding solo. My brother, the former chef, has emailed me the “recipe” (if you can call it that) and it needs an a10 tin. Dunno what that is and since I spent my evening searching for a pudding tin and only finding a 2 litre one, I hope it’s big enough. I’ll halve the recipe just in case. So tomorrow the great preparation begins but tonight I’m soaking the fruit. It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas. I’ll finish up the pudding tomorrow night after mass. Also need to cook the short breads as well. All of this and two massage clients.
Now how many cartons of brandy custard should I buy? I’m thinking three assuming I’ll have to share some of it.
So cross your fingers, legs, eyes, whatever for me.
Em.
