    Good old vienetta, ha ha ha, that's what we had when I was younger, it seemed posh. We always get one for old times sake. We don't really do dessert formally, my son will have his favourite bananas and custard (or as he says nana and tustard) my daughter will want icecream or chocolate cake and husband will want whatevers going, not sure if anyone else is coming yet, better find out.

    I've made an executive decision and we're having either fudge cake or eggnog cheesecake (leaning towards the latter). So now it's just a matter of voyeuring at all of your menus.

    Everyone is normally too full at our house to have dessert! After a few hours people will normally have Christmas pudding or my mam's homemade Christmas cake though, but I don't like either so I'd just have one of my traditional homemade mince pies with custard. Thinking about it we've never been big on Christmas desserts, the dinner is where its at!
    D'you know, in 900 years of space and time, I've never met anyone who wasn't important

    Whatever I make on Christmas Eve....sometimes treacle tart, sometimes cinnamon bread, or a cheesecake, or brownies, or flapjacks......I've got a great recipe for chocolate biscuits that melt in your mouth and are the best the day after making.....dang it, you're making me hungry.
