Katholikos - everything looks fantastic, I bet your house smelled fantastic after that lot came out of the oven! I love the chocolate log, I think I'm going to do one this year instead of a Christmas cake as I can't get DH to eat dried fruit

Today I am going to college and we're supposed to be making sweeties for Christmas (only we're supposed to call them petit fours!) including coconut ice, Turkish delight, truffles, nougat and I forget what else but no doubt it will all involve sugar thermometers and burnt fingers. Can't wait

Thanks angeltreats I think a chocolate log is a great alternative to Christmas cake!

...and oh.....i so wish i was going to college with you today....all that confectionary...oh my :j

I made honeycomb today! I can't believe I never did it before, it's so easy, DH is livid that I didn't bring any home so think I will have to do another batch soon.

Oooh thanks for that - I worked out that I could add choc chips but only have ground ginger at home andwasnt sure it would be strong enough. Mind you its always worth a shot............

At last I got around to doing the bread baking for the week (first time in ages), now that I shall not be working anymore I am planning to do this on a regular basis. Today 1 1/2 kg strong white and 1 1/2 kg wholemeal (plus a couple handfuls mixed seeds) made: 3 large loaves, 4 smaller seeded loaves and 12 seeded rolls.

I made the boiled fruit cake (recipe posted earlier) with my 3 year old grandson. lots of fun! apparently, the cake is for 'daddy'!!! mum cant have any, nanny cant have any, and neither can grandad! only daddy and him!
then I taught OH how to make his favourite casserole (bit greived over that, as its so easy and he thought it must be complicated) beef in beer! It smells lovely and we are having it with chips and peas later.
