Good morning,
I'm not sure how much chance I'll get to post for the next few days.
I hope you all have a peaceful Christmas and thank you so much for all the friendship, tips, support and camaraderie shared over the last 11 months:A.
Hard to believe it is nearly a year since I started the thread. :eek:

Good Morning

Just popped in to wish you all a 'peaceful xmas'. It's a difficult time for many of us, but I'm sure we will each enjoy it in the best way we can

With ref to the spuds - guess it's a reflection of how I've been during the past few months - functioning, but not thinking. I've just loaded them into the car and they will be making their way to Suffolk very shortly

Best wishes to you all, and a special thank you for your friendship, support and advice

Andrew

Best Wishes and Compliments of the Season to you too.

This doesn't solve the problem of things like mousse and trifle though.

And I ran with it

Trifle is: a small bit of cake, or individual bun + couple of cubes of jelly made up + a bit of random fruit from wherever you can get something (tinned, frozen, fresh) + instant custard + dream topping + anything you can blob on the top, like a grated chocolate or some sprinkles or even half a crushed chocolate digestive at a push.... or nothing.

yes it might have been holly but twas pastures that kept that ball rolling, what has she done?

I just enjoyed some smoked salmon on two small thin slices of lightly toasted bread and a nice cup of coffee. Lovely and I have chopped all I need for lunch stir fry and got a ratatouille out to defrost for last meal. Small bottle of snowball is in the fridge for later, for when I am chilling, watching cracker. Three bottles left and I have some ordinary lemonade to go with port when the snowballs are finished. I am hoping to only open one small packet of crisps as I enjoy my drink :cool:

It is grey out and feels awfully damp and cold but I so need to get out for a bit of exercise, makes me feel good for the rest of the day. Will go later, when I start the turkey cooking, got to empty my large oven first, good for storage

Ah trifle- not sure if one if featuring at New Year here yet.;) Now who is in the "made with jelly" camp and who is in the "no jelly" camp. I'm a "it has to be made with jelly" kind of gal:D
