    I used this recipe a while back to use up a jar of mincemeat found during the kitchen cupboard sort-out and can vouch for its yummy-ness! :D

    Sorry, guess I need a refresher in how to post links. It's the 3rd post down on page 3.

    :rotfl:

    Haven't really done much MMMing recently, been working heaps so I guess mending our finances :D

    On a day off today so have done 3 loads of washing. All line dried and will shortly be minimising the ironing pile while watching a film.

    Tea tonight was chicken salad using lettuce from the garden, very yummy. Made some croutons using the heels of some bread that have been in the freezer a while.

    Noticed that the PJs I was planning to put on tonight have a wee hole in the knee so will mend them over the weekend.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend :D
